The time for the annual Congress of the Veterinary Practice Management Association is nearly here, and the VPMA has joined forces with leading IT provider AT Veterinary Systems to launch a tailor-made app for those attending.

The app is free of charge and provides delegates with everything they need to know about the three day event. It is available for iPhone and iPad and there is also a web version accessible on a range of smartphones.

To download the app from the app store, click here, and the web application can be accessed here.

With a full list of exhibitors, a map of the venue and exhibition, a detailed timetable of the CPD lectures and a packed programme of social events, the VPMA Congress app will allow delegates to navigate the event, keep up to date with recent announcements and personalise their lecture timetable.

Simple to navigate and easy to sort - whether through date, theme, speaker or location - this app is an indispensable guide to the Congress, to be held from the 26th to the 28th January 2012. Taking place in the Chesford Grange Hotel, Kenilworth, VPMA Congress promises to build on last year's success and will feature two days of gold standard management CPD, an exhibition and a lively social programme.

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.
