BSAVA and IDEXX partner to promote education
"Education enables veterinary professionals to provide better care for their patients" - Dr Jason Johnson, chief medical officer, IDEXX.
The organisations are providing a topical monthly webinar.

The British Small Animal Veterinary Association (BSAVA) has partnered with IDEXX, an American corporation which offers diagnostic and software products and services to veterinary surgeons globally.

Together, the organisations will provide a new series of learning resources for veterinary professionals, enhancing BSAVA's membership offering and demonstrating both organisations' commitment to small animal veterinary education. 

The learning materials created will be a topical monthly webinar, with a relevant speaker and a dedicated online resource collection within the BSAVA Library, alongside a bursary scheme offered by IDEXX, which includes 10 places on a selected BSAVA course. 

The first two 'Topic of the month' webinars will focus on anaemia in cats, and increased SDMA on pre-anaesthetic testing, and will be available free of charge to all BSAVA members. 

Dr Jason Johnson, IDEXX's chief medical officer, commented on the collaboration: “Continuous learning is an essential part of veterinary clinic life and an area that is increasing in demand, particularly with so many new and innovative ways to engage.

"Education enables veterinary professionals to provide better care for their patients and we are delighted to support them through our collaboration with BSAVA."

Scott Fitzpatrick, head of Partnerships and Events at the BSAVA added: “We are thrilled to be working with IDEXX. It is increasingly important to us that our members receive accessible CPD, and through this valuable collaboration we are able to continue to support the veterinary profession.”

The webinars can be accessed via the BSAVA Library here
