Vets urged to attend VBMPS Congress
Photo: Nigel Chadwick
Congress to take place in October 

The Veterinary Biomedical & Pharma Sciences Congress will be held at the ICC in Birmingham in October, and will be looking at 'Two Worlds, One Health.'

Intended for both the veterinary and biomedical sciences professions, it is the only event of its kind in the UK, and will look at the diagnosis of disease in animals, detection of communicable infections, animal bioscience research, drug discovery/development and comparative pathology.

The guiding principle is 'Two Worlds, One Health' - the benefits to humans and animals from sharing medical and veterinary science. Scientists will have the chance to come together to address common practices and issues of importance and to share insights and experiences from their different but related worlds.

The 2-day event combines an exhibition with a scientific conference.  The exhibition features leading suppliers of diagnostic and laboratory equipment and services, institutions and other professional bodies representing human and veterinary medicine.  The conference includes parallel scientific sessions in Cellular pathology, Haematology/Clinical chemistry, Pharma science and Microbiology/Infection, dealing with discipline-specific, multi-disciplinary and professional issues. Complementing the conference content is a poster display area featuring the same four disciplines covered in the conference.
 
Of particular interest to veterinary scientists and practitioners will be presentations and updates on current topics and issues by leading experts and researchers in their respective fields
