Veterinary Business and Management Congress draws closer
VPMA and SPVS combined Congress takes place in January

The combined Congress of the Veterinary Practice Management Association (VPMA) and the Society of Practising Veterinary Surgeons (SPVS) will take place from 24th - 26th January 2013 at Heythrop Park, Oxfordshire.

The UK's two major veterinary management congresses have merged to offer top quality practice management CPD for all members of the practice team, in the first 'Veterinary Business and Management Congress', seen as a logical step after two years of successful combined business and management CPD courses from both organisations.

SPVS and VPMA are hoping that owner vets will attend with their practice managers, head vets or head nurse, so the team can compare notes and work together to implement the best of what they have learnt.

The Congress will host 20 masterclass sessions, four lectures streams, world renowned speakers and over 30 hours of CPD. Topics covered will include practice health and finance, people performance management, personal development and practice strategy.

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.
