Tickets are now on sale for the 2016 British Equine Veterinary Association (BEVA) Congress, taking place Sept. 7-10, and members who register before Aug. 4 can benefit from big discounts.

This year equine veterinary conference is being held at the ICC in central Birmingham, England. An extensive continuing professional development program blends world-class science and innovation with day-to-day veterinary practicalities.

In addition to the clinical program, tactics to achieve the elusive work life balance and the applicability of evidence-based medicine are recurring themes over the three days of the event. Five separate programs will run concurrently in five adjacent halls and will feature a mix of traditional lectures, panel discussions, and interactive forums to suit equine vets and mixed practitioners at any stage in their career. Veterinary nurses, farriers, equine physiotherapists, and equine dental technicians can also enjoy specific sessions focused on their areas of expertise.

There will also be daily practical sessions in the exhibition hall, building on the success of last year’s popular format. Jonathan Anderson, BVM&S, Dipl.
