BEVA Congress tickets to go on sale
Further details of the BEVA Congress programme will be announced shortly.

The 60th edition congress will take place in September 2022. 

Tickets will shortly be on sale for BEVA's 60th congress, taking place from 8 to 10 September 2022.

BEVA Congress, held at the ACC in Liverpool, is Europe's largest equine veterinary event, and provides the equine veterinary profession with a space to learn, socialise and share perspectives on the profession, on both clinical and non-clinical challenges. 

Early bird tickets for the event will be available from 28 February 2022, and will provide access to all lecture exhibition halls and full access to the virtual congress hub, which will live stream parts of the programme for those unable to attend in person.

Virtual tickets can also be purchased for access to the virtual hub only. 

Dr Pat McCue will give the first plenary lecture, reviewing events that have shaped current practice in equine reproduction, before considering what the future could hold for equine reproduction. BEVA Congress has also introduced a second plenary lecture – the Dr Peter Rossdale Memorial lecture, which will become an annual fixture at congress.

The Dr Peter Rossdale Memorial lecture will cover aspects of evidence-based medicine each year, and the inaugural address will discuss evidence in perinatology – a subject which was very close to the late Dr Rossdale's heart. 

Dr Celia Marr will give the Dr Peter Rossdale Memorial lecture for 2022, and will also recall key aspects of Dr Rossdale's life. 

David Lloyd, Congress Scientific Programme Chair, commented: “Whilst we are sure most delegates will be clamouring to attend the lectures and discussions in Liverpool in person, the programme also includes a virtual stream available live online.

“A session from one of the streams will be available throughout each day.  

“Also, to help reduce our carbon footprint, we are holding one virtual session concurrently across all lecture theatres. 

“Global leaders in the field of infectious disease, imaging, nursing, reproduction and sports medicine and rehabilitation, will present virtually to the lecture hall rather than travelling to the congress. 

“This session will have 25 of the “best of the best” speakers, presenting and discussing topics that challenge us in practice.”

Early bird prices for BEVA members are £499 for veterinary surgeons and £187 for veterinary nurses for all three days, with concessions available for recent graduates it those on a lower salary. Virtual tickets are priced at £199 for veterinary surgeons and £40 for veterinary nurses.

Tickets can be purchased here.

Germany livestock import ban lifted

The UK government has amended its ban on the import of livestock, meat and dairy products from Germany.

Defra said the decision follows 'rigorous technical assessment' of the measures applied and the current situation. "If the situation changes, we will not hesitate to take necessary action in response to the FMD outbreaks in the European Union to protect our domestic biosecurity," it said.

The ban was implemented in January following an outbreak of foot and mouth disease (FMD) near Berlin. Personal imports of meat, milk and dairy products will remain in place at a country level.
