BSAVA annual awards are coming
Vote now for exceptional contribution awards

If you haven't already, be sure to cast your vote for the British Small Animal Veterinary Association (BSAVA) awards.

The awards are a chance to recognise colleagues who have been inspiring and made exceptional contributions to the veterinary profession. It is important that these people are rewarded and their recognition helps encourage others to improve.

Categories include; outstanding contributions to the advancement of small animal veterinary medicine or surgery, outstanding contributions to the welfare of companion animals, and meritorious contributions by veterinary surgeons to small animal veterinary practice.

The Frank Beattie Travel Scholarship will also award a BSAVA member with a £2,000 scholarship to study a particular aspect of veterinary practice abroad.

All BSAVA members are eligible to vote, and can chose to vote for multiple categories or just one. The awards ceremony will take place on 4-7 April 2013 at the BSAVA Congress. To vote, visit www.bsava.com/awards or call 01452 726705. Voting closes 14 September 2012.

BVA urges 'continued vigilance' over bluetongue

The British Veterinary Association (BVA) has urged vigilance following a concerning rise in Bluetongue (BTV) cases in sheep and cattle.

In a recent statement, the BVA noted that members are reporting more severe clinical signs and higher mortality rates than in previous years.

'We know that farm vets are working hard to support farmers and animals affected by this outbreak, during what is an extremely difficult time for all involved,' they stated. 'Continued vigilance to identify disease early is vital and vaccination remains the best way of protecting animals from this disease.'
