BVA members who sign up for 2012 whilst at this year’s Show will get the cheapest price of £99

The British Veterinary Association and the London Vet Show have teamed up to make the London Vet Show bigger and better in 2012 with new content and exclusive access and rates for BVA members.

The partnership was announced at the London Vet Show 2011 held at Olympia in London on 24-25 November.

The most exciting development for 2012 will be the launch of the BVA Careers Fair comprising lecture streams, an exhibition and one-to-one expert advice for BVA members at every stage of their careers.

The BVA Careers Fair is the first of its kind in the veterinary profession and is targeted at vets from final year students about to embark on their careers to those thinking about changing direction or taking the next step up.

BVA members will gain exclusive access to the Careers Fair within the London Vet Show and will benefit from an additional 10% off the lowest advertised Show rate.

The BVA Careers Fair will complement the extensive clinical and management lecture streams and exhibition offered at the London Vet Show.

In addition, the BVA will be injecting some political content into the programme to enhance delegates’ awareness and interest in the big picture issues affecting the profession.

Commenting, Carl Padgett, President of the BVA, said:

“The BVA is continually expanding our member benefits and we are very excited to announce our partnership with the London Vet Show and the launch of the BVA Careers Fair.

“It’s a win-win offer for BVA members who will get 10% off the lowest advertised delegate rate for the whole Show and exclusive access to the Careers Fair.”

Rob Chapman, London Vet Show Event Director, said:

“The London Vet Show gets bigger and better every year and we are delighted to work with the BVA to launch the Careers Fair – the first of its kind in the veterinary profession.

“BVA members attending this year’s Show can register for 2012 for just £99 at the 2011 Show and benefit from our excellent clinical and non-clinical streams, extensive exhibition, and one-to-one careers advice.”

Dr Jill Maddison, Director of Professional Development at the Royal Veterinary College, who coordinates the LVS clinical CPD programme, added:

“I am thrilled that LVS has partnered with BVA.

“The Careers Fair will provide a unique opportunity for young and not so young BVA members to combine a great CPD experience with professional support and career advice – a winning combination.”
