Certificate Success for BSAVA

New BSAVA Certificate places snapped up in 20 minutes. 

It only took twenty minutes after enrolment opened for the BSAVA Medicine and Surgery certificates for both courses to be filled and a waiting list established.

The British Small Animal Veterinary Association launched online enrolment for its inaugural programmes at 9am on Monday 3rd October. Within twenty minutes both courses were filled and a waiting list set up.

While interest in the courses had been flooding in over the recent months, the number of applications still came as a surprise.

Dr Frances Barr, head of the BSAVA Education Team, explained that despite always having confident in the programme, it was uncertain whether the maximum number of 30 delegates on each course would be reached. She commented: "To have a waiting list and pre-registration requests for 2013 is fantastic."

She added: "As veterinary professionals we want to strive for clinical excellence, to have our achievements recognised, and be encouraged and supported on the way there. This is what BSAVA aims to do with the medicine and surgery certificates."

Organised by the Responsible Use of Medicines Alliance Companion Animal and Equine (RUMA CA&E), the initative is supported by a range of cross-sector organisations.

Practices are encouraged to use the campaign to engage the whole practice team and raise awareness of the safe disposal of medicines with clients. Learn how your practice can get involved at rumacae.org.uk

Bluetongue RZ extended across Scotland

The Scottish Government has announced an extension to a Bluetongue Restricted Zone that is in place in south-west Scotland.

From 3 October, the Restricted Zone will be extended to cover the whole of Scotland. The Animal, Plant and Health Agency (APHA) says this is in response to further disease spread, as well as simplify trading conditions ahead of the autumn.

Since the whole country will share a disease status, it will no longer be necessary to have a movement license to move susceptible livestock around the country. Restrictions on germinal products remain.

As of 1 October 2026, there were 1,979 cases of BTV-3 in England, 389 cases in Wales and 40 cases in Scotland.
