A successful year for vet physio association
ASSVAP is celebrating its first birthday

The Association for the Scientific Study of Veterinary and Animal Physiotherapy (ASSVAP) is celebrating a year of success on its first birthday.

Set up 12 months ago, the ASSVAP promotes the scientific approach to animal welfare and allows its members to exchange information - demonstrating veterinary physiotherapy as an evidence-based profession.

Its members comprise vets, vet nurses, vet physiotherapists and students from each profession.

ASSVAP secretary Elizabeth Elliott said: "This has been a very exciting 12 months. Not only have we provided a number of exceptionally popular CPD opportunities to promote veterinary physiotherapy, but we will shortly be announcing a major collaboration with a UK University to provide a BSc in veterinary physiotherapy, leading to membership of ASSVAP.



"We are now the second largest veterinary physiotherapy association in the country, and have recently expanded into the USA and mainland Europe, so the next 12 months are likely to be even more exciting."

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.'
