The British Small Animal Veterinary Association (BSAVA) has announced that it has decided to retire its annual Congress in order to focus its resources on new initiatives that it believes will better serve its members.
Commenting on the decision, President Julian Hoad says: “The BSAVA needs to adapt as the landscape changes and as the profession continues to innovate and grow.
We’ve conducted extensive research with our members on their education and development needs and the future requirements of the wider profession. It’s clear that we need to adapt to offer more agile solutions which will bring huge benefits to vets and veterinary nurses.
With that in mind, the BSAVA has decided that it’s time to retire Congress. We believe we will deliver better value to our members by pursuing new opportunities and developing more versatile product innovations.
As an organisation we’re extremely proud of the legacy Congress leaves behind. It’s been a cherished and valuable event for the profession over the last 68 years, and we want to thank all who’ve been part of that legacy.”
