BSAVA Congress and Expo 2025 programme released
This year's Congress and Expo features a new exhibition hall and community hub.
The British Small Animal Veterinary Association (BSAVA) has released its programme for the BSAVA Congress and Expo 2025.
This year’s event, which will take place at Manchester Central from 20-22 March 2025, will offer delegates over 150 hours of continuous professional development (CPD) in a variety of topics.
The programme investigates some of the ‘Big Issues’ which are facing the veterinary profession, including the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) review, RCVS regulation changes and discussions into veterinary costs. These sessions will also examine contextualised care and One Health.
A series of new professional development sessions will seek to address the challenges facing veterinary professionals, ensuring they have the knowledge and tools to protect their mental health and prevent burnout.
There will also be a programme of sessions focusing on clinical topics. This will explore a range of subjects including immunosuppressives, toxicology in practice, neurology on a smartphone and the future trends in animal nutrition.
BSAVA’s ‘Day in the Life’ series will also be returning to the Congress and Expo for 2025.
In this year’s ‘Day in the Life’, delegates will be invited to an ‘immersive’ experience exploring emergency and critical care, as well as anaesthesia. Presented across two sessions, there will be a focus on how a whole team approach can benefit in these fields.
Elsewhere, attendees will also have the opportunity to try out the latest innovations in the practical zone, network with industry leaders in the new exhibition hall and catch up with fellow delegates at the new community hub.
Andy Green, chair of the congress committee, said: “We have put a lot of time and effort into this year’s programme to create a refreshed and reinvented format, designed for the whole practice team.
“There will be plenty of practical insights, new inspiration and forward-thinking perspectives across the three days. We hope that delegates will leave feeling inspired and ready to thrive in every aspect of practice!”
Advanced tickets are on sale until 5 February 2025. More details can be found on the BSAVA Congress and Expo website.
