Speakers Confirmed for VPMA Congress
Tim Puddle
Speakers have now been confirmed for VPMA congress 2011. The event has a packed agenda on offer, with renowned speakers providing top quality CPD.

The Key Note speaker will be Mark Evans: vet, international author, TV presenter and producer who has been involved in hundreds of programmes. Currently, he is Chief Veterinary Adviser at the RSPCA and Head of its Companion Animals Department.  He also continues to work as a freelance broadcaster, most recently fronting Channel 4’s BAFTA award winning natural history series “Inside Nature’s Giants”. As an accomplished amateur engineer he has tackled some awe-inspiring projects, which include building a helicopter. With his passion to make science interesting to all, a good helping of common sense and a dollop of enthusiasm, Mark’s talk is a sure fire recipe for a fascinating opener to congress.

Anne-Marie Svendsen Aylott
Within the streams, a variety of speakers will be presenting their ideas on a range of subjects. Two speakers of particular note are Tim Puddle, who runs In Practice Consultancy (IPC) and will be discussing ways to market your practice, and Anne-Marie Svendsen Aylott, who will describe strategies and techniques that can be used to help individuals fulfill their potential and achieve their goals.

Booking lines are now open for VPMA Congress 2011. Delegates can register or request further information about the congress by calling 01727 859259, downloading the registration forms on vpma.co.uk and vetpol.co.uk or by sending an email to events@mojoconsultancy.com. Non-members are welcome.

Government releases latest bluetongue statistics

APHA has confirmed the number of bluetongue cases that have been logged in the UK since 1 July 2026.

The total number of BTV-3 cases, as of 6 August, is 187. This includes 183 cases in England and four cases in Wales.

There have been no recorded cases in Scotland and Northern Ireland.

The location of premises in Great Britain where at least one animal has tested positive by PCR for BTV-3, BTV-8 or BTV-12 is available on the bluetongue case map. All livestock keepers in Great Britain are urged to familiarise themselves with nation-specific bluetongue control policies.

Bluetongue virus is a notifiable disease. It is a legal requirement that any suspicions, even if livestock has been vaccinated, are reported immediately.
