BEVA Congress tickets to go on sale
Further details of the BEVA Congress programme will be announced shortly.

The 60th edition congress will take place in September 2022. 

Tickets will shortly be on sale for BEVA's 60th congress, taking place from 8 to 10 September 2022.

BEVA Congress, held at the ACC in Liverpool, is Europe's largest equine veterinary event, and provides the equine veterinary profession with a space to learn, socialise and share perspectives on the profession, on both clinical and non-clinical challenges. 

Early bird tickets for the event will be available from 28 February 2022, and will provide access to all lecture exhibition halls and full access to the virtual congress hub, which will live stream parts of the programme for those unable to attend in person.

Virtual tickets can also be purchased for access to the virtual hub only. 

Dr Pat McCue will give the first plenary lecture, reviewing events that have shaped current practice in equine reproduction, before considering what the future could hold for equine reproduction. BEVA Congress has also introduced a second plenary lecture – the Dr Peter Rossdale Memorial lecture, which will become an annual fixture at congress.

The Dr Peter Rossdale Memorial lecture will cover aspects of evidence-based medicine each year, and the inaugural address will discuss evidence in perinatology – a subject which was very close to the late Dr Rossdale's heart. 

Dr Celia Marr will give the Dr Peter Rossdale Memorial lecture for 2022, and will also recall key aspects of Dr Rossdale's life. 

David Lloyd, Congress Scientific Programme Chair, commented: “Whilst we are sure most delegates will be clamouring to attend the lectures and discussions in Liverpool in person, the programme also includes a virtual stream available live online.

“A session from one of the streams will be available throughout each day.  

“Also, to help reduce our carbon footprint, we are holding one virtual session concurrently across all lecture theatres. 

“Global leaders in the field of infectious disease, imaging, nursing, reproduction and sports medicine and rehabilitation, will present virtually to the lecture hall rather than travelling to the congress. 

“This session will have 25 of the “best of the best” speakers, presenting and discussing topics that challenge us in practice.”

Early bird prices for BEVA members are £499 for veterinary surgeons and £187 for veterinary nurses for all three days, with concessions available for recent graduates it those on a lower salary. Virtual tickets are priced at £199 for veterinary surgeons and £40 for veterinary nurses.

Tickets can be purchased here.

RCVS annual renewal fee for vets due

RCVS' annual renewal fee for veterinary surgeons is now due. Vets must pay their renewal fee before Wednesday, 1 April 2026.

This year's standard annual fee has increased to 431 from last year's 418. This is an approximately three per cent increase, as approved by RCVS Council and the Privy Council.

Tshidi Gardner, RCVS treasurer, said: "The small fee increase will be used to help deliver both our everyday activities and our new ambitious Strategic Plan, which includes aims such as achieving new legislation, reviewing the Codes of Professional Conduct and supporting guidance, and continuing to support the professions through activities such as the Mind Matters Initiative, RCVS Academy and career development."

A full breakdown of the new fees is on the RCVS website. Information about tax relief is available on the UK government website.
