BSAVA opens Clinical Abstracts submissions
The Clinical Abstracts provide the wider veterinary community the chance to present current research.
All members of the professions invited to apply. 

The British Small Animal Veterinary Association (BSAVA) has opened applications for BSAVA's Clinical Abstracts for 2023.

Part of the BSAVA's CPD programme, the Clinical Abstracts provide veterinary professionals the opportunity to present current research at BSAVA Congress, held annually.

Aiming to share the latest concepts and thinking within the profession, the BSAVA is inviting veterinary professionals to submit their research. This could be the preliminary results of a new study, a discussion of new techniques being used or a description of an interesting case.

All members of the veterinary profession are invited to apply, with submissions welcomed from veterinary surgeons, veterinary nurses, practice managers and veterinary students.

The BSAVA is particularly keen to encourage veterinary nurses to take part, with veterinary nurse case reports offering a unique interactive method for veterinary nurses to share interesting cases and techniques.

Congress Committee member Kelly Eyre RVN said: “The Vet Nurse case reports are a really unique opportunity for veterinary nurses to speak at the BSAVA Congress. 

“Whether they are a confident speaker, or haven’t experienced public speaking before, we are encouraging nurses to submit a case report and enjoy the experience!

“The cases can be related to any area of nursing, from anaesthesia to nurse clinics, there really is no limit. I’m really looking forward to watching nurses discuss their cases and enjoy the friendly and relaxing atmosphere that BSAVA continues to provide.”

Submissions for all Clinical Abstracts will close on 14 November, and successful applicants will be notified in early 2023.

The successful applicants will have a 15-minute slot at congress to discuss their findings. A brief synopsis is needed to apply, and the case must focus on small animals, but is not restricted by species or discipline. 

For further information, and to submit an application, visit the BSAVA Congress website.

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.
