BSAVA announces online abstracts session
The event will give clinical researchers a unique opportunity to showcase their work with colleagues across the globe.

Event will showcase more than 125 presentations from across the globe.

BSAVA Congress has announced the return of its popular Clinical Abstracts Programme for 2021, showcasing more than 125 presentations over three days.

Building on the success of last year’s live event, the online proceedings (24-26 May) will see researchers, vets and practice staff from across the globe share the latest research, unusual case reports and novel procedures.

Presentations will cover a diverse array of topics, including orthopaedics, oncology and soft tissue surgery.

In a first for the programme, some of the students involved in the BSAVA-PetSavers Student Research Project will deliver presentations. The updated format will give students the chance to present in a supportive BSAVA-PetSavers Student Grants module.

The 2020 Clinical Abstract Programme achieved the largest audience for clinical abstracts in congress’ history, averaging around 160 attendees in each of the sessions. The virtual event attracted professionals from across the world, with presenters participating from Finland to Indiana.

Joe Fenn, BSAVA Congress clinical abstracts chair, said the 2021 programme is being expanded from two to three days to accommodate the wide range of submissions received. 

“By bringing interactive clinical abstracts to an international veterinary audience, we are providing clinical researchers with a unique opportunity to share their work with a global network of colleagues,” he said. 

BSAVA's Virtual Congress held in March attracted more than 40 clinical abstract poster presentations. Access to all scientific content, including the posters, will remain open until May 22.

The Clinical Abstracts Programme takes place 24-26 May. For more information and to book your place, visit bsavaevents.com/bsavacongress2021
