Registration Open for VPMA Congress!
VPMA urges early registration to avoid missing out on congress.

The Veterinary Practice Management Association (VPMA) is now taking registrations for its 2012 Congress, which will take place at Chesford Grange Hotel, a luxury hotel in Kenilworth, Warwickshire, from the 26th to 28th January 2012.

The Congress already promises to raise the high benchmark set last year, which broke all records and was fully booked. Early registration is accordingly advised for this year to avoid disappointment.

Hailed as Gold Standard management CPD, the event runs across three streams and delegates are free to attend the presentation that best meets their own personal training needs or addresses an issue relevant in their practice.

With an increasing number of overseas delegates attending the event, VPMA Congress can claim to be one of the foremost congresses in the world dedicated to practice management.

To registers and find out more about the Congress, visit the website.

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.
