Submissions open for BSAVA Clinical Abstracts
Successful authors will be asked to present their abstracts at BSAVA Congress 2024.
Finalists will present their abstracts at BSAVA Congress 2024.

The British Small Animal Veterinary Association (BSAVA) has announced that the BSAVA Clinical Abstracts submissions portal is now open.

The BSAVA awards scheme gives successful entrants the opportunity to present their clinical abstract as a short research presentation at the next BSAVA Congress.

The abstract can be on any veterinary subject, such as the preliminary results of a study, an analysis of an interesting case or a discussion about new techniques. However, it must be based on high-quality clinical research that has been done in practice, academia or industry, and it must be summarised in 250 words.

The clinical abstract should be an oral presentation, or a poster. Posters may be more suited for abstracts requiring large data tables or multiple figures.

Successful authors will then be invited to present their work at BSAVA Congress 2024. The best clinical abstract from each category will be given an award.

The deadline for submissions is 20 November, and successful authors will be notified in January 2024.

The BSAVA Clinical Abstracts is open to anyone in the veterinary field, including researchers, and is intended to bring together colleagues from across the industry to celebrate new or emerging studies.

The BSAVA Congress will take place at Manchester Central from 21-23 March 2024. It is expected to include over 130 hours of CPD across 32 different veterinary modules. The programme features a range of learning opportunities, including lectures, panel discussions, interactive sessions and practical workshops.

It will also allow delegates to see the finalists of the Clinical Abstracts.

Vasileia Logothetou PgC(SAS) MRCVS , who won last year’s Clinical Abstract Best Surgery Award, said: “It was an immense honour to win the award… and an unexpected validation of the hard work on our project.

“The whole experience presenting at BSAVA was fun and exciting, and a great opportunity to socialise with colleagues and friends.”

Early bird registration for BSAVA Congress 2024 is open until 31 January on the BSAVA Congress website.

EHV is a contagious, airborne virus that can cause respiratory problems and severe diseases in horses and ponies. It spreads among horses over short distances, direct contact and through shared equipment.

The survey will explore current knowledge and management practices with EHV in the UK. It is quick to complete and participants could win one of 10 equine first aid kits.
