Applications open for BSAVA's Clinical Abstracts
The best abstracts will be selected to be presented at next year's BSAVA Congress and Expo.
Awards for the best abstracts will be given at BSAVA Congress and Expo.

The British Small Animal Veterinary Association (BSAVA) has opened applications for its 2025 Clinical Abstracts programme.

The programme gives veterinary professionals the chance to share their research with the veterinary community at next year's BSAVA Congress and Expo, which is due to take place at Manchester Central on 20-22 March.

Clinical abstracts on any veterinary subject can be submitted. This can include announcing the preliminary findings of a study, discussing a new technique, or describing an interesting case.

BSAVA welcomes applications from anyone in the veterinary profession, including veterinary surgeons, veterinary nurses, practice managers, and veterinary students. It is particularly encouraging submissions from those in general practice.

The programme will also consider clinical abstracts from researchers whose work has direct relevance to veterinary practice.

The abstract should be no more than 250 words (excluding the title) and can take the form of either an oral presentation or a poster.

The veterinary professionals and researchers whose abstracts are selected for presentation at BSAVA Congress and Expo will have the chance to win one of the Clinical Abstract Awards, which will be judged during the event.

Andy Green, chair of BSAVA’s Congress Committee said: “This is a fantastic opportunity for veterinary professionals to showcase their research to the global veterinary community, and a chance for delegates to learn about the latest concepts and thinkings in veterinary medicine from their peers.”

More information about submitting an abstract can be found on the BSAVA's website.

BVA urges 'continued vigilance' over bluetongue

The British Veterinary Association (BVA) has urged vigilance following a concerning rise in Bluetongue (BTV) cases in sheep and cattle.

In a recent statement, the BVA noted that members are reporting more severe clinical signs and higher mortality rates than in previous years.

'We know that farm vets are working hard to support farmers and animals affected by this outbreak, during what is an extremely difficult time for all involved,' they stated. 'Continued vigilance to identify disease early is vital and vaccination remains the best way of protecting animals from this disease.'
