BSAVA Congress demand high
Congress prepares for another record-breaking year

The British Small Animal Veterinary Association (BSAVA) has announced that it is anticipating another record-breaking year at the upcoming Congress in light of an already high number of registrations and a dramatic increase in the number of international delegates. Over 5,500 registrations have already been taken and this number is rising on a daily basis. As a standard of comparison, last year's Congress saw 5,816 delegates as a part of a total of over 8,000 visitors.

The BSAVA will also be hosting the World Small Animal Veterinary Association (WSAVA) and Federation of European Companion Animal Veterinary Associations (FECAVA), leading to a surge in the number of registrations from international delegates eager to attend the WSAVA / FECAVA / BSAVA World Congress 2012. According to the BSAVA, the percentage of international delegates as a proportion of this year's Congress is projected to be approximately 24%. Last year's figure was approximately 14%, suggesting that the status of World Congress has attracted an even stronger interest in attendance in the veterinary sectors of overseas countries.

Organised by the Responsible Use of Medicines Alliance Companion Animal and Equine (RUMA CA&E), the initative is supported by a range of cross-sector organisations.

Practices are encouraged to use the campaign to engage the whole practice team and raise awareness of the safe disposal of medicines with clients. Learn how your practice can get involved at rumacae.org.uk
