BCVA driving tomorrow’s practice BCVA Congress 2014 Delegate Information 16th – 18th October 2014 Hinckley Island Hotel, Watling St, Hinckley, Leicestershire, LE10 3JA Early Bird Discount until 3rd September 2014 BCVA Congress 2014 “This year’s BCVA Congress will continue to deliver ‘Progress in Practice’ through bringing clinical updates, scientific advances and expert knowledge” Welcome to Leicestershire Following a successful Congress held in Harrogate, this year BCVA moves to the Midlands. Hinckley is very well-positioned in terms of access by road and rail and also proximity to Birmingham and East Midlands Airports. Declan O’Rourke BCVA President Hinckley Island Hotel has hosted the AHDA conference in the past and is well-versed in catering for a congress of our size. As ever, and in the true spirit that defines BCVA Congress, there will be plenty of opportunities for delegates, speakers and sponsors to relax and interact during the social events taking place over the three days. This year’s BCVA Congress will continue to deliver ‘Progress in Practice’ through bringing clinical updates, scientific advances and expert knowledge. We are delighted to welcome speakers of the very highest calibre in Ken Nordlund and Pamela Ruegg from Wisconsin covering housing and ventilation, mastitis and responsible use of medicines. This year will see the introduction of a BCVA/Sheep Vet Society stream on Thursday. Clinical Club, moderated by David Barrett (Bristol Vet School) and Alistair Smith (Waga Waga), returns on Thursday evening so come armed with some clinical cases to discuss. Again this year, as part of our strategy to support lifelong learning from the very start of cattle veterinary careers, there will be a special rate for veterinary undergraduates and a dedicated student stream with the introduction of ‘Moo-niversity Challenge’ on Saturday, which everyone is invited to attend and support! Andrew Taylor will be back again to chair an extended Question Time which is an opportunity to raise contentious issues with a range of key figures in our industry. We have worked to keep BCVA Congress registration below £400 this year. The President’s dinner will be on Friday night and the social finale of Congress. The veterinary surgeon in practice is our focus, with a programme for all ages and interests. We look forward to welcoming you to Hinckley this year at the cattle congress of 2014.
