BVA publishes its careers fair programme
Careers fair for delegates of London Vet Show

The programme of the British Veterinary Association (BVA) careers fair at the fast-approaching London Vet Show has been published.

London Vet Show will be taking place on Thursday 15 and Friday 16 November.

BVA's career fair will run throughout both days and will include talks on various topics, including 'So being a vet isn't just about the animals', 'Help! I've had an official complaint' and 'Surely there's more to vet life than practice'.

Numerous organisations will be presented by speakers taking part in the fair, such as Professor Stephen May from the RCVS Council, Richard Dixon from Vets Now and Laura Heaps and Ed James from the BVA Overseas Group.

The BVA is also offering one-to-one sessions over both days that should be booked in advance, which will offer careers advice, financial planning and legal advice.

BVA urges 'continued vigilance' over bluetongue

The British Veterinary Association (BVA) has urged vigilance following a concerning rise in Bluetongue (BTV) cases in sheep and cattle.

In a recent statement, the BVA noted that members are reporting more severe clinical signs and higher mortality rates than in previous years.

'We know that farm vets are working hard to support farmers and animals affected by this outbreak, during what is an extremely difficult time for all involved,' they stated. 'Continued vigilance to identify disease early is vital and vaccination remains the best way of protecting animals from this disease.'
