Free Equine CPD
Working with the Animal Health Trust (AHT) we are providing a programme of free equine CPD exclusively for BVA members, up to 8 years qualified - our Young Vet Network (YVN) members.
AHT would like to invite YVN members to join them for a bi-monthly programme of CPD seminars at the AHT, based in Newmarket, from March to December 2008. These seminars are open to all YVN members and are free of charge.
YVN members are very welcome to attend as many of these seminars as you like. However, as a light buffet meal will be provided, courtesy of the BVA, we are simply requesting that you let AHT know in advance if you intend to come along so that they can estimate the numbers they need to cater for.
