BCVA launches foundation programme for new farm vets
The programme will run online between March and August.
Programme designed to help build confidence and expand core skills.

The British Cattle Veterinary Association (BCVA) has announced the launch of its popular foundation programme for newly qualified farm vets.

Running online from March to August 2021, the programme will see some of the profession's most respected experts share their experience and knowledge across six key subjects. The programme is designed to help build confidence expand core skills in the newly qualified or those returning to work after a break. 
  • The programme includes:
  • Mastitis with James Breen in March
  • Infectious Diseases with Colin Mason in April
  • Diagnostics with David Harwood in May
  • Youngstock with Kat Hart in June
  • Lameness with Owen Atkinson in July
  • Beef with Joe Henry in August.
The BCVA writes:' There are just 10 places available on each module to ensure there is plenty of opportunity for interaction. Delegates will improve their knowledge of clinical topics alongside picking up tips on communication and interpersonal skills.

'The focus is on approaches to common problems encountered in practice to inspire greater self-confidence in tackling these alongside your clients. It is possible to ‘pick-n-mix’ individual elements of the programme, although choosing the entire series offers significant discounts and will help delegates develop the widest range of skills.'

King Charles becomes patron of The Kennel Club

The Kennel Club has announced that King Charles has become its latest patron, continuing a long-standing royal tradition.

His patronage follows the support of the late Queen Elizabeth II, who was patron from 1952, the year of her coronation, until her death in 2022.

The Kennel Club has received royal support since it began in 1873, when it received support from Prince Edward, then Prince of Wales. When he ascended to the throne in 1901, King Edward began a tradition of the head of state offering their patronage.

Tony Allcock, Kennel Club Chairman, said: "We are delighted and most honoured that His Majesty the King will continue the tradition of royal support for The Kennel Club and help us in our mission in making a positive difference for dogs and their owners."
