BEVA Congress 2012 ticket office now open
Discounts available for early birds

The British Equine Veterinary Association (BEVA) Congress 2012 ticket office is now open. Tickets for this year's event, which will be held at the International Convention Centre (ICC) in Birmingham on 12-15th September, are available at a discounted rate for those who book before the end of July.

This year's programme includes such highlights as a practical careers session designed for new graduates, a debate on firing, Danny Scott's thoughts on dermatology, Sue Dyson's exploration of the latest developments in the assessment of proximal metacarpal region pain in sports horses and a panel on opthalmology with Dennis Brooks. The introduction of a daily current affairs slot has also been announced, and a plenary lecture on forty years of the technological advances seen in equine practice from the highly regarded John Walmsey is eagerly anticipated. The Scientific Programme will run concurrently in five lecture halls and is intended for vets and veterinary nurses of every level.

For the convenience of those attending, the BEVA has also announced the availability of an Encore Room (sponsored by Pfizer Animal Health) to allow delegates the opportunity to play back lectures they may have missed or wish to enjoy once more.

More details are available at www.beva.org.uk
