BEVA Congress offers practice passes for whole vet team
The pass includes those staying behind at the practice, offering livestream and six month online access options.
The tickets will save money for practices taking several people to congress.

The British Equine Veterinary Association (BEVA) has announced a new practice pass ticket for BEVA Congress, taking place on 8 – 10 September 2022.

Covering both veterinary surgeons and veterinary nurses, the new practice pass allows practices to bring the whole team to congress, with savings of up to £113 per veterinary surgeon. 

Offering a combination of physical and virtual tickets, the pass accounts for all veterinary colleagues – even those staying behind at the practice. 

David Mountford, chief executive of BEVA, explained: “We know that not every vet at a practice can attend congress every year because someone is always going to have to stay behind and work.

“So, by offering a mix of physical and virtual tickets in the pass it means those staying at home to look after the practice can still benefit from the live stream as well as the six-month access to all the lectures afterwards. 

“Congress always contains plenty of relevant and dedicated content for nurses, so the pass obviously includes nurse tickets too.”

Three package options are available for the Practice Passes, depending on practice size. The small practice package is £599, medium is £1,300 and large is £2,600. 

Practice Passes will be available to purchase until Monday 1 August, and interested practices can visit bevacongress.org/ for booking and further information.

Organised by the Responsible Use of Medicines Alliance Companion Animal and Equine (RUMA CA&E), the initative is supported by a range of cross-sector organisations.

Practices are encouraged to use the campaign to engage the whole practice team and raise awareness of the safe disposal of medicines with clients. Learn how your practice can get involved at rumacae.org.uk

Bluetongue RZ extended across Scotland

The Scottish Government has announced an extension to a Bluetongue Restricted Zone that is in place in south-west Scotland.

From 3 October, the Restricted Zone will be extended to cover the whole of Scotland. The Animal, Plant and Health Agency (APHA) says this is in response to further disease spread, as well as simplify trading conditions ahead of the autumn.

Since the whole country will share a disease status, it will no longer be necessary to have a movement license to move susceptible livestock around the country. Restrictions on germinal products remain.

As of 1 October 2026, there were 1,979 cases of BTV-3 in England, 389 cases in Wales and 40 cases in Scotland.
