Charity Motorcycle CPD Tour  
A group of equine vets are currently travelling around the seven British vet schools, to deliver CPD sessions and raise money for charity.

The ten vets will be donning their leathers and getting on their motorcycles to complete the CPD trip in a week.  The trip started in Liverpool on Monday 26 July, and they are now visiting each vet school in the country, ending up in Glasgow on Saturday 31 July.  The vets will deliver broad based Equine CPD at each vet school.  Topics will include: Medicine, Surgery, Orthopaedics, Ophthalmology, Anaesthesia and Wound Care.  There is no charge for delegates to attend but they are being asked to take along a donation for the SPANA Disabled Riding Centre, in Bamako, the capital of Mali in West Africa and the British Equine Veterinary Association (BEVA) Trust.

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.
