BSAVA Congress Abstract Sessions shortlist revealed
Presentations of the abstracts will take place over BSAVA Congress (24-26 March).

Poster presentations will take place across the three-day event.

More than 50 clinical abstracts from across the industry have been shortlisted by the British Small Animal Veterinary Association (BSAVA) ahead of its 2022 Congress.

Taking place 24-26 March, BSAVA’s Clinical Abstract Sessions allow members of the veterinary community to present recent research and other information relevant to veterinary practice.

Among the submissions for this year’s event include neurology, endocrinology, oncology and infectious diseases. Presentations on ethics and communication, respiratory, hepatology and burnout have also been shortlisted.

The submissions are available to view both online and in-person, and prizes will be awarded to the best presentations in various categories, ranging from practitioner, student and veterinary nurse to medicine, surgery, and best poster.

BSAVA Congress programme committee member Duncan Barnes said: “These abstracts will contribute greatly to clinicians’ ability to practice evidence-based medicine, with highly relevant topics such as the antimicrobial resistance of bacterial cultures taken from raw meat diets, and the prevalence and outcome of respiratory compromise in French bulldogs presenting with intervertebral disc extrusion.

“We’re embracing the hybridisation of the event with both face-to-face submissions as well as online presentations. With all the abstracts available on the virtual platform, nobody misses out.”

A list of the presentations and posters is available at bsavaevents.com
