BVA Council Reform Approved
New BVA President, Harvey Locke.
The proposal for a new BVA Council structure has been approved at the BVA’s AGM. 

The restructuring will take place on regional lines, meaning there will now be 12 regional representatives covering the nine government office regions in England plus one each in Scotalnd, Wales and Norther Ireland.

The BVA say that this structure “will ensure that every member has the opportunity to have a say in key policy decisions by providing them with a direct route to the Council through their regional representative.”

The changes will be implemented next year.

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.'
