BSAVA reveals details for Alba Congress
The congress is taking place in Falkirk, famed for the iconic Kelpies and the Falkirk Wheel.
The congress is returning to Scotland for 2022.

The British Small Animal Veterinary Association (BSAVA) has confirmed that BSAVA Alba Congress, formally known as BSAVA's Scottish Congress, will take place on 16 – 17 September 2022.

Taking place at the Macdonald Inchyra Hotel in Polmont, Falkirk, the congress promises to be packed with CPD, networking opportunities and ceilidh dancing. 

Delegates will have access to three lecture streams, one for veterinary surgeons, one for veterinary nurses, and one 'open for all' stream. The weekend-long event will feature 28 lectures, four practical sessions and 10 hours of CPD.

Scottish Regional Chair at the BSAVA, Angela McLaughlin, said: “We are delighted that we are returning to Scotland after three years away as this is a great event that allows Vets and Nurses the opportunity to improve their skills and knowledge, while visiting an idyllic part of the country!”

Sessions to look out for include 'Echocardiology' with Kieran Borgeat, 'Dermatology: What can Nurses do?' with Sue Paterson and 'Wildlife Triage' with Jenna Richardson.

Alongside the educational and networking events, the congress also features a gala dinner on Friday 16 from 7.30pm.
