New member journal to launch at LVS!
MRCVSonline set to introduce latest member benefit

The team behind MRCVSonline will be heading to London Vet Show this week to launch our latest member benefit - new journal, Veterinary Practice Today.

Currently bringing our members all the latest news, jobs and events, MRCVSonline is expanding to provide a new printed journal for the whole veterinary team, including a range of topical issues.

All members of MRCVSonline are entitled to a free subscription, which can be claimed at our official London Vet Show launch!

To celebrate the launch, we will also be giving away free branded slip leads and pens to all journal subscribers - perfect for use in practice.

Visit us on stand A10 to flick through our very first issue, and remember to bring your colleagues along, as all new subscribers to MRCVSonline, or our sister website VNonline, will also receive a free subscription.

Our latest quarterly journal has been designed with the whole veterinary team in mind, providing a wealth of "how to" articles on small animal, equine, large animal, exotic animal and wildlife, as well as practice management.

Within the 60-page journal we also include CPD articles, which can contribute towards our readers' annual CPD requirements.

Members of our team will also be wandering around the event wearing Veterinary Practice Today branded scrubs, so feel free to catch up with us and let us know which topics you would most like to read about.

This year's London Vet Show is set to take place on November 21 and 22 at London's Grand Hall Olympia.

If you're not attending London Vet Show, you can still subscribe to Veterinary Practice Today. Simply log in to your MRCVSonline account here http://mrcvs.co.uk/en/vpt-login.php and update your contact details.

Birmingham Dogs Home makes urgent appeal

News Story 1
 Birmingham Dogs Home has issued an urgent winter appeal as it faces more challenges over the Christmas period.

The rescue centre has seen a dramatic increase in dogs coming into its care, and is currently caring for over 200 dogs. With rising costs and dropping temperatures, the charity is calling for urgent support.

It costs the charity £6,000 per day to continue its work.

Fi Harrison, head of fundraising and communications, said: "It's heart-breaking for our team to see the conditions some dogs arrive in. We really are their last chance and hope of survival."

More information about the appeal can be found here.

Avian flu confirmed at premises in Cornwall

A case of highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 has been detected in commercial poultry at a premises near Rosudgeon, Cornwall.

All poultry on the infected site will be humanely culled, and a 3km protection zone and 10km surveillance zone have been put in place. Poultry and other captive birds in the 3km protection zone must be housed.

The case is the second avian flu case confirmed in commercial poultry this month. The H5N5 strain was detected in a premises near Hornsea, East Riding of Yorkshire, in early November. Before then, the disease had not been confirmed in captive birds in England since February.

The UK chief veterinary officer has urged bird keepers to remain alert and practise robust biosecurity.
