Awards for AHT veterinary scientists
Sue Dyson and Ruth Dennis honoured

Two veterinary scientists from the Animal Health Trust (AHT) have been honoured for their contributions to veterinary radiology and diagnostic imaging.

Sue Dyson, head of clinical orthopaedics at the AHT, and Ruth Dennis, head of diagnostic imaging, were recognised by the International Veterinary Radiology Association (IVRA).

Dr Dyson was awarded the IVRA J Kevin Kealy Award, which is given to association members who make substantial scientific contributions to veterinary radiology, and was described as "an outstanding recipient."

Mrs Dennis received the European Association of Veterinary Diagnostic Imaging (EAVDI) Douglas and Williamson Award, which honours the outstanding achievement within the field of veterinary diagnostic imaging.

She said: "I am very honoured to receive this award, especially since, as a vet student in Cambridge in the late 1970s, I was taught by Sidney Douglas and David Williamson, who were pioneers of veterinary radiology."

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.'
