BSAVA launches new video library
"Users will also be able to see more easily how many library passes they have left" - Ian Mellor, head of publishing at the BSAVA.

The new library contains over 400 videos. 

The British Small Animal Veterinary Association (BSAVA) has launched a new video library within the BSAVA Library website.

Containing over 400 videos on clinical topics, the video library will feature content on a large number of topics, including imaging, neurology, endoscopy and endosurgery, among many others.

Video content is also searchable in the new library, making it easier to find specific content and more user-friendly.

Head of publishing at the BSAVA, Ian Mellor, commented on the launch of the new video library: “We are delighted that we can bring this new feature to the BSAVA Library, giving our audience easier access to great video content.

“This is part of a few enhancements to the library where we hope to give users a better experience.

“Users will also be able to see more easily how many library passes they have left, and they will now be able to see recommended related resources next to the content, meaning that they can easily find information under the same topic without having to search extensively.”

BSAVA members will automatically have access to over 80 videos, and if a user does not have access to a particular video they wish to view, they can use a BSAVA library pass to gain access to the parent chapter. Users can also purchase access to an individual chapter or entire manual.

BBC Radio 4 documentary addresses corporate fees

BBC Radio 4's File on 4 Investigates has released a documentary exploring how corporate-owned veterinary practices may be inflating bills to increase profit.

Released on 15 April, 'What's Happening To Your Vet Bills?' revealed the policies which many corporate groups have in place to increase their profits. This included targets and upgrades which veterinary teams are tasked with meeting on a regular basis.

It also features Anrich Vets, an independently-owned practice based in Wigan. Following the case of Staffordshire terrier Benjy, who is diagnosed with a tumour, the documentary shares how the team were able to offer contextualised care and advice to make the procedure as affordable as possible for his owners.

The documentary can be heard on demand on BBC iPlayer.
