BEVA overhauls popular BEVApod channel
The fortnightly podcast aims to keep members informed and entertained while travelling between clients.

Podcast now includes real-life stories and clinical catch-up recordings.

The British Equine Veterinary Association (BEVA) has overhauled its popular BEVApod channel to include new real-life features, clinical catch-up content and the latest news and opinion.

The fortnightly podcast aims to keep members informed and entertained while travelling between clients or unwinding after a busy day. Since its launch two years ago, the podcast has become so popular that members have been requesting more content.

The new BEVApod promises more regular features from equine vet Brad Hill, a clinical assistant professor in equine practice at the University of Nottingham, who will be exploring the many aspects of life in equine practice.

Brad will also be sharing real-life stories to help promote a sense of togetherness and promote mental wellbeing.

“Although based at Nottingham, I am passionate about maintaining links to all areas of the equine profession,” he said.“This podcast will provide a platform to bring the experiences of others directly to the listener wherever they are.” 

BEVApod will also feature monthly clinical episodes taken from the BEVA Clinical Catch-Up recordings. These are live webinars where BEVA invites a practitioner to present a clinical topic and open it up for discussion. 

“We have turned the recordings of these into podcasts so that our members can listen to the recordings whilst travelling between clients," said BEVA President Lucy Grieve.  "It makes great use of travel time and fills the void we all sometimes feel when we are alone with just our thoughts in the car.”

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.'
