Don't forget to book for LVS
Delegates urged to book for London Vet Show

The London Vet Show is returning to Olympia this November for two days of high quality CPD, and would-be delegates are encouraged to take advantage of their low rates. 1500 veterinary professionals have already registered for what promises to be a fantastic event.

This year’s show will deliver three streams of clinical CPD programmed by the Royal Veterinary College and led by Jill Maddison. Delegate feedback from last year has also been taken into account and theatres will be significantly larger this year to cater for all the attendees.

The line-up will include business lectures, sponsor-led seminars, practical workshops and association-led education sessions.

Also new for this year will be the introduction of the BVA Careers Fair, following the new partnership between the British Veterinary Association (BVA) and LVS. In addition, BVA members can enjoy a further 10% discount from the registration fee.

The London Vet Show will take place on the 15th and 16th November and will cost just £199 +VAT.

Birmingham Dogs Home makes urgent appeal

News Story 1
 Birmingham Dogs Home has issued an urgent winter appeal as it faces more challenges over the Christmas period.

The rescue centre has seen a dramatic increase in dogs coming into its care, and is currently caring for over 200 dogs. With rising costs and dropping temperatures, the charity is calling for urgent support.

It costs the charity £6,000 per day to continue its work.

Fi Harrison, head of fundraising and communications, said: "It's heart-breaking for our team to see the conditions some dogs arrive in. We really are their last chance and hope of survival."

More information about the appeal can be found here.

A case of highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 has been detected in commercial poultry at a premises near Rosudgeon, Cornwall.

All poultry on the infected site will be humanely culled, and a 3km protection zone and 10km surveillance zone have been put in place. Poultry and other captive birds in the 3km protection zone must be housed.

The case is the second avian flu case confirmed in commercial poultry this month. The H5N5 strain was detected in a premises near Hornsea, East Riding of Yorkshire, in early November. Before then, the disease had not been confirmed in captive birds in England since February.

The UK chief veterinary officer has urged bird keepers to remain alert and practise robust biosecurity.
