BSAVA launches new video library
"Users will also be able to see more easily how many library passes they have left" - Ian Mellor, head of publishing at the BSAVA.

The new library contains over 400 videos. 

The British Small Animal Veterinary Association (BSAVA) has launched a new video library within the BSAVA Library website.

Containing over 400 videos on clinical topics, the video library will feature content on a large number of topics, including imaging, neurology, endoscopy and endosurgery, among many others.

Video content is also searchable in the new library, making it easier to find specific content and more user-friendly.

Head of publishing at the BSAVA, Ian Mellor, commented on the launch of the new video library: “We are delighted that we can bring this new feature to the BSAVA Library, giving our audience easier access to great video content.

“This is part of a few enhancements to the library where we hope to give users a better experience.

“Users will also be able to see more easily how many library passes they have left, and they will now be able to see recommended related resources next to the content, meaning that they can easily find information under the same topic without having to search extensively.”

BSAVA members will automatically have access to over 80 videos, and if a user does not have access to a particular video they wish to view, they can use a BSAVA library pass to gain access to the parent chapter. Users can also purchase access to an individual chapter or entire manual.

Practices urged to audit neutering data

News Story 1
 RCVS Knowledge has called on vet practices to audit their post-operative neutering outcomes.

It follows the release of the 2024 NASAN benchmarking report, which collates data from neutering procedures performed on dogs, cats and rabbits.

The benchmarking report enables practices in the UK and Ireland to compare their post-operative outcomes to the national average. This includes the rate of patients lost to follow-up, which in 2024 increased to 23 per cent.

Anyone from the practice can submit the data using a free template. The deadline for next report is February 2026.

Visit the RCVS Knowledge website to complete an audit.

UK's BSE risk status downgraded

The WOAH has downgraded the UK's international risk status for BSE to 'negligible'.

Defra says that the UK's improved risk status recognises the reputation for having the highest standards for biosecurity. It adds that it demonstrates decades of rigorous animal control.

Outbreaks of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy, also known as mad cow disease, have previously resulted in bans on Britain's beef exports.

The UK's new status could lead to expanded trade and better confidence in British beef.

Christine Middlemiss, the UK's chief veterinary officer, said: "WOAH's recognition of the UK as negligible risk for BSE is a significant milestone and is a testament to the UK's strong biosecurity measures and the hard work and vigilance of farmers and livestock keepers across the country who have all played their part in managing the spread of this disease.
