Registration now open for BSAVA Congress 2021
Delegates will have opportunities to socialise and network with colleagues, specialists and industry partners in the online exhibition hall.

Online event to deliver more than 130 hours of CPD

Registration has opened for BSAVA Congress 2021, which will take place from 25-27 March. The event will be held online this year and promises to be an immersive learning experience for those in the small animal veterinary sector.

The BSAVA has announced that this year's congress will deliver more than 130 hours of CPD to delegates through 80 live sessions and 100 on-demand webinars which allow attendees to dip in at their leisure.

Scientific content will be available for on the platform for 30 days and later will be made available on the BSAVA library for attendees.

International speakers and industry professionals will be sharing their knowledge and experiences, and for the first time nursing, clinical and business topics will be blended into modules which allow delegates to choose the content they want to see.

Keynote speaker, Jenny Campbell of Dragons' Den will also be sharing her experiences of business management and a healthy work/life balance.

Professor Ian Ramsey, president of the BSAVA, said: “On the clinical side, we’re covering everything from chronic pain and neurology to cardiology and orthopaedics – whatever your interests, there will be something for you.”

“Most sessions in the live programme will feature two speakers, each delivering short presentations followed by a live, audience-led conversation. This new approach means delegates can explore the multi-faceted disciplines of the small animal veterinary world and see the clinical challenges from different points of view and, most importantly, join in.”

There will be multiple opportunities to network and socialise with peers, colleagues and specialists, both in chat rooms and breakout sessions. Delegates can also liaise with industry partners in the new online exhibition hall.
