BSAVA Congress – There's an App for That!
Two screen shots from the app.
Visitors to BSAVA Congress 2010 can navigate the commercial exhibition stands and lectures more effectively this year, thanks to a free iPhone app developed exclusively by leading IT provider, AT Veterinary Systems.

The ‘Congress App’ is the latest in a long line of developments from AT this year. Constantly striving to embrace all the best that modern technology has to offer for both Mac and PCs, AT has spent thousands of programming hours enhancing existing products and developing new ones. The release of the Congress App is the fifth successive release of software by AT Veterinary Systems within the last six months and marks a prolific year of development for the company. AT’s latest software releases include VISION Email Server, Insurance Claims Manager and the latest SPECTRUM Release (1L), which delivers literally hundreds of enhanced and extra features. Further products are also in the pipeline and will also be launched at this year’s BSAVA.

Jacqui Garrett, Business Development Manager at AT Veterinary Systems says: “It's great to be able to provide so many products that improve the clinical and managerial aspects of veterinary practices while also increasing profitability in a difficult economic climate.”

The Congress App is a very small example of the development undertaken by AT this year. Including key features such as floor plans of the ICC and the NIA, a list of all the exhibitors and stand locations, details of the presentations being held and the ability for users to create a customised list of ‘favourite’ lectures, this app provides visitors with important information at their fingertips.

RCVS annual renewal fee for vets due

RCVS' annual renewal fee for veterinary surgeons is now due. Vets must pay their renewal fee before Wednesday, 1 April 2026.

This year's standard annual fee has increased to 431 from last year's 418. This is an approximately three per cent increase, as approved by RCVS Council and the Privy Council.

Tshidi Gardner, RCVS treasurer, said: "The small fee increase will be used to help deliver both our everyday activities and our new ambitious Strategic Plan, which includes aims such as achieving new legislation, reviewing the Codes of Professional Conduct and supporting guidance, and continuing to support the professions through activities such as the Mind Matters Initiative, RCVS Academy and career development."

A full breakdown of the new fees is on the RCVS website. Information about tax relief is available on the UK government website.
