Questions sought for new JSAP webinar series
Questions can be submitted to the BSAVA.
Authors to discuss key findings of their papers. 

Members of the profession are being given the chance to submit questions for a new series of webinars based on current JSAP papers.

Recorded by the BSAVA, the series will discuss specially-selected articles that are relevant to primary care practice in addition to those covering topical subject matters.

The articles are published in the JSAP - the journal of the BSAVA and the WSAVA, covering veterinary medicine and surgery relating to companion animals.

“The webinar episodes provide vets and vet nurses with an opportunity to listen to authors discuss the key findings of their papers and how these findings may impact clinical practice,” commented Nick Jeffery, editor of JSAP.

“Furthermore, the webinar topics are being advertised in advance to allow interested parties the opportunity to submit their questions to the authors.”

The first two papers to be discussed as part of the webinar series are Prescription rebellion: reduction of antibiotic use by small animal veterinarians and Xenotransfusion of canine blood to cats: a review of 49 cases and their outcome.

Questions to the authors of either of these papers can be submitted to science@bsava.com
