Speakers Confirmed for VPMA Congress
Tim Puddle
Speakers have now been confirmed for VPMA congress 2011. The event has a packed agenda on offer, with renowned speakers providing top quality CPD.

The Key Note speaker will be Mark Evans: vet, international author, TV presenter and producer who has been involved in hundreds of programmes. Currently, he is Chief Veterinary Adviser at the RSPCA and Head of its Companion Animals Department.  He also continues to work as a freelance broadcaster, most recently fronting Channel 4’s BAFTA award winning natural history series “Inside Nature’s Giants”. As an accomplished amateur engineer he has tackled some awe-inspiring projects, which include building a helicopter. With his passion to make science interesting to all, a good helping of common sense and a dollop of enthusiasm, Mark’s talk is a sure fire recipe for a fascinating opener to congress.

Anne-Marie Svendsen Aylott
Within the streams, a variety of speakers will be presenting their ideas on a range of subjects. Two speakers of particular note are Tim Puddle, who runs In Practice Consultancy (IPC) and will be discussing ways to market your practice, and Anne-Marie Svendsen Aylott, who will describe strategies and techniques that can be used to help individuals fulfill their potential and achieve their goals.

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.
