Against the backdrop of BSAVA Congress (3-6 April), the biggest veterinary gathering outside the USA, the British Veterinary Association (BVA) is launching a pilot of VETS.TV and invites all delegates to visit stand 916 to sample this new and innovative service.

VETS.TV is an internet television site run jointly by the BVA and Ten Alps Publishing which will be available via a microsite of www.bva.co.uk. The pilot includes custom-made videos on MRSA, litigation and stress management, a series of interviews with key veterinary figures and a number of specially acquired programmes.

While the project is a pilot BVA President Nick Blayney is in no doubt that VETS.TV is here to stay. "I am confident" he said "that VETS.TV represents the future of CPD. It will become a significant and popular medium for the profession since it offers varied and interesting programming covering CPD sessions, information on broad general interest and practice related subjects. It will be up-to-date, forward thinking and an information packed service designed specifically for the veterinary professional and indeed developed in response to feedback from our members."

The VETS.TV crew will be filming around the BSAVA Congress exhibition while demonstrations of this brand new service will be given on the BVA stand. As an added incentive, all members who provide the staff on the stand with their name and email address will automatically be entered into the prize draw to win a HP 530 Celeron M 440 laptop.
