Dragon’s Den star to deliver keynote speech at virtual BSAVA Congress
Jenny Campbell is the first of three high-profile keynotes to be announced for BSAVA Congress 2021.

Jenny Campbell to share advice on maintaining work-life balance

Entrepreneur Jenny Campbell, known for her role as a Dragon on the BBC programme Dragon's Den, has been announced as the first of the keynote speakers for BSAVA Virtual Congress which will take place from 25-27 March 2021.

After working in banking for 30 years, Mrs Campbell became CEO of cash machine company Hanco. She bought out the company and turned it around, selling it for £50 million.

She will be sharing her experiences as an entrepreneur and business leader at BSAVA Congress, as well as personal insight into maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

“Everyone should look after their wellbeing,” she said. “It’s important to recognise when you need some rest and relaxation, and to put the phone away. Just accept that you can’t manage it all, and there are only 24 hours in every day.”

Jenny is the first of three high profile keynotes to be announced for BSAVA Congress 2021. The programme is currently being finalised but organisers promise it will deliver more than 100 hours of top quality CPD, and will have a major focus on interactivity for delegates.

BSAVA president Ian Ramsey said: “BSAVA Congress 2021 is going to be one of the most innovative in the history of our events.”

“While the pandemic circumstances we continue to find ourselves in are far from ideal, we must continue to evolve and progress as a profession. BSAVA Congress is a unique highlight in our calendar for next year and it is shaping up to be a truly memorable event.”

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."

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.
