SPVS/VMG congress partnership comes to a close
SPVS president Andrew Parker.
The associations wish to focus more on supporting their own members.

SPVS and the Veterinary Management Group (VMG) have announced the end of their congress partnership.

In a statement, the associations said they plan to focus more closely on 'supporting the specific needs of their own members and helping to guide the veterinary profession through the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead'. 

This year's SPVS/VMG Congress, set to take place on 13-14 May, will be their last joint event.

SPVS president Andrew Parker MRCVS commented: “SPVS has enjoyed a long relationship with VMG, resulting in many successful annual congresses and other collaborations. SPVS is sorry that this association is coming to an end but looks forward to continued success at their annual congress. SPVS would like to say thank you to VMG for their past collaboration and wish VMG the very best for the future.”

VMG president Georgina Hills RVN added: “We are proud of the success of our joint congresses over the years and would like to say a big thank you to our colleagues at SPVS. We have enjoyed a very fruitful collaboration and our partnership has made an important contribution to the development of the veterinary sector. 

"It is an exciting time for both organisations to continue to grow and develop, supporting leadership in the veterinary world through our own individual congresses and other initiatives.”

BSAVA publishes Guide to Nutrition in Small Animal Practice

The BSAVA has added a small animal nutrition advice booklet to its series of BSAVA guides.

The BSAVA Guide to Nutrition in Small Animal Practice offers a resource for veterinary professionals to provide appropriate nutrition for animals. As well as maintaining the wellbeing of healthy pets, the guide explores how nutritional requirements change in times of illness and disease.

The guide is divided into five sections, which explore the importance of nutritional assessment; diet types; feeding at different life stages; feeding for specific situations; and feeding for specific diseases. Online resources are also in the BSAVA Library including client handouts and videos.

It is designed to be suitable for referencing, in-depth case planning and team training sessions.

The BSAVA Guide to Nutrition in Small Animal Practice can be purchased online from the BSAVA store.
