Resource hub launched for graduate vets

“We really recognise that new graduates need to look after themselves in their own personal and professional development” – Carl Gorman.

The BSAVA’s new hub includes lectures, webinars, and case examples.

The British Small Animal Veterinary Association (BSAVA) has launched a new set of resources to support graduate veterinary surgeons during the first few years of their career.

The BSAVA Graduate Resource Hub is designed to increase the confidence and competence of new veterinary surgeons embarking on their first jobs. The content has been selected to help them brush up on guidelines and best practice, as well as gaining tips and insights on topics ranging from clinical skills to personal wellbeing.

Resources on the platform include BSAVA Congress lectures, webinars, and chapters from manuals. In total there are more than 400 individual resources.

Carl Gorman, president of the BSAVA, said: “Graduates will have access to a whole range of case examples, and resources which can help them to be prepared when they see those consultations for the first time, but can also provide discussion points for conferring with senior colleagues and peers, and it will also help them to develop their VetGDP portfolios and EPA’s.”

The hub, which is free to BSAVA members who are in their first, second or third year after graduation, also features a community forum for asking questions, discussing topics, and connecting with peers.

Dr Gorman added: “There is also a comprehensive range of non-clinical material. We really recognise that new graduates need to look after themselves in their own personal and professional development. We need them to be confident and to enjoy their start in practice life.”

The hub can be accessed via the online BSAVA Library.

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.
