Opportunity to help shape strategic future of BVA
“This is an exceptionally important opportunity for members to help shape the British Veterinary Association and the wider profession" - Malcolm Morely, BVA President.
BVA president invites members to complete important survey.

Members of the British Veterinary Association (BAVA) are being invited to have their say on a range of issues to help shape the strategic future of the organisation.

The BVA member survey, released every four years, asks for views on pressing issues within the profession to help ensure it stays relevant and remains a strong voice for its members. The survey also asks for opinions on member benefits and campaigns professionals would like to see BVA champion. 

New BVA president Malcolm Morely commented: “This is an exceptionally important opportunity for members to help shape the British Veterinary Association and the wider profession. It is a chance to tell us directly what matters to you, what issues you think we should be taking up on your behalf and most importantly, how we can help you to deliver a sustainable veterinary profession in the future. Don’t miss the chance to have your say.” 

The survey has been emailed to all 18,000+ members of the BVA and will remain open until Monday, 17 October. Members that haven't received an email are encouraged to contact membership@bva.co.uk

Upon completing the survey, members can opt into a prize draw to win a ticket to the 2022 London Vet Show (worth £598) and a £50 John Lewis or M&S e-voucher. There are also four additional prizes of a £50 shopping voucher.
