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.

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.
