Charity Motorcycle CPD Tour  
A group of equine vets are currently travelling around the seven British vet schools, to deliver CPD sessions and raise money for charity.

The ten vets will be donning their leathers and getting on their motorcycles to complete the CPD trip in a week.  The trip started in Liverpool on Monday 26 July, and they are now visiting each vet school in the country, ending up in Glasgow on Saturday 31 July.  The vets will deliver broad based Equine CPD at each vet school.  Topics will include: Medicine, Surgery, Orthopaedics, Ophthalmology, Anaesthesia and Wound Care.  There is no charge for delegates to attend but they are being asked to take along a donation for the SPANA Disabled Riding Centre, in Bamako, the capital of Mali in West Africa and the British Equine Veterinary Association (BEVA) Trust.

BVA urges 'continued vigilance' over bluetongue

The British Veterinary Association (BVA) has urged vigilance following a concerning rise in Bluetongue (BTV) cases in sheep and cattle.

In a recent statement, the BVA noted that members are reporting more severe clinical signs and higher mortality rates than in previous years.

'We know that farm vets are working hard to support farmers and animals affected by this outbreak, during what is an extremely difficult time for all involved,' they stated. 'Continued vigilance to identify disease early is vital and vaccination remains the best way of protecting animals from this disease.'
