BVA drops prices for Congress
Delegate prices reduced

The British Veterinary Association (BVA) is dramatically cutting the cost of attending its annual Congress this September in order to continue providing high-quality, affordable CPD.

The congress, covering two days, will be almost half the usual delegate fee. Members of the BVA will be charged £150 plus VAT and non-members £300 plus VAT. This gives delegates the change to attend up to 11 hours of small animal CPD provided by the University of Liverpool.

BVA Past President Harvey Locke worked with the University of Liverpool to create the clinical CPD programme. He said: “BVA is committed to providing high-quality CPD to our members at affordable rates. We look forward to welcoming vets to Liverpool in September for our great value CPD programme.”

The choice of topics this year includes:

  • recent advances in the management of elbow dysplasia and cruciate rupture
  • responsible use of medicines
  • how to get the best out of your Ultrasound machine for suspected cardiac disease
  • recent advances in the management of common tumours
  • management of the collapsing patient
  • management of acute gastroenteritis

The full programme and further information is available here.

Animal Medicines Amnesty returns this November

News Story 1
 Veterinary practices are being urged to help owners safely dispose of any unused and expired pet medicines - not just antibiotics - during November's Animal Medicines Amnesty.

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.
