Discounts on CPD from SPVS/VPMA
Discounts now apply to BVA members

The BVA is joining up with SPVS and the VPMA to provide non-clinical CPD outside London. SPVS/VPMA discounts now also apply for BVA members. To claim the discount, the course participant must be either a vet who is a member of the BVA, SPVS or the VPMA, or a non-vet in a practice where there is at least one member of these associations. For more information visit www.bva.co.uk/spvs

Commenting, Member Support and CPD Officer at SPVS Adi Neil said ‘SPVS and the VPMA are delighted to extend the provision of first-class non-clinical CPD for the whole practice team to members of the BVA. Our meetings provide the perfect place to learn from great speakers and, just as importantly, to network with others from practices around the UK. Even better, BVA members will now get the same discounts as those available to SPVS and VPMA members.’

In another development, BVA members now also receive a 50% discount for the Webinar Vet CPD service. For more information visit www.bva.co.uk/webinar

Welcoming the development, founder of the Webinar Vet CPD service Anthony Chadwick said of the new partnership ‘Since starting the webinars two years ago I have been amazed at how people have embraced this way of doing veterinary CPD. I am very excited to work with the BVA, and look forward to welcoming many more BVA members onto our site for an easy way of fulfilling their CPD needs.’

King Charles becomes patron of The Kennel Club

The Kennel Club has announced that King Charles has become its latest patron, continuing a long-standing royal tradition.

His patronage follows the support of the late Queen Elizabeth II, who was patron from 1952, the year of her coronation, until her death in 2022.

The Kennel Club has received royal support since it began in 1873, when it received support from Prince Edward, then Prince of Wales. When he ascended to the throne in 1901, King Edward began a tradition of the head of state offering their patronage.

Tony Allcock, Kennel Club Chairman, said: "We are delighted and most honoured that His Majesty the King will continue the tradition of royal support for The Kennel Club and help us in our mission in making a positive difference for dogs and their owners."
