Discounts on CPD from SPVS/VPMA
Discounts now apply to BVA members

The BVA is joining up with SPVS and the VPMA to provide non-clinical CPD outside London. SPVS/VPMA discounts now also apply for BVA members. To claim the discount, the course participant must be either a vet who is a member of the BVA, SPVS or the VPMA, or a non-vet in a practice where there is at least one member of these associations. For more information visit www.bva.co.uk/spvs

Commenting, Member Support and CPD Officer at SPVS Adi Neil said ‘SPVS and the VPMA are delighted to extend the provision of first-class non-clinical CPD for the whole practice team to members of the BVA. Our meetings provide the perfect place to learn from great speakers and, just as importantly, to network with others from practices around the UK. Even better, BVA members will now get the same discounts as those available to SPVS and VPMA members.’

In another development, BVA members now also receive a 50% discount for the Webinar Vet CPD service. For more information visit www.bva.co.uk/webinar

Welcoming the development, founder of the Webinar Vet CPD service Anthony Chadwick said of the new partnership ‘Since starting the webinars two years ago I have been amazed at how people have embraced this way of doing veterinary CPD. I am very excited to work with the BVA, and look forward to welcoming many more BVA members onto our site for an easy way of fulfilling their CPD needs.’
