Talk by John Fishwick MA VetMB DCHP DipECBHM MRCVS.
Bovine TB, AMR, Brexit, Surveillance, non-stun slaughter! – with all these ever mounting issues challenging the livestock sector what does the hard working veterinary surgeon do to keep ahead of the game? Current BVA President, John Fishwick, will look at some of these issues and the challenges facing the profession. He will also be pleased to take question about what the BVA does and is doing for its members, and is expecting to be given a hard time!
John is a Senior Lecturer at the Royal Veterinary College and was formerly Head of the Department of Production and Population Health as well as Head of the Farm Animal Health and Production Group at RVC but has recently stood down to allow him more time to fulfil his BVA duties. He can no longer claim to do any real clinical work but is an RCVS and European Bovine Specialist. He was BCVA president in 2010.
A hot meal will be served prior to the start of the talk at 7.15pm prompt with the talk commencing at 7.45pm.

The RTA Cat for vets >8 years qualified
If you are a vet <8 years qualified please use the booking option below to get your discounted rate.
Date: Wednesday 5th December 2018
By Daniel Holden BVetMed DVA DipECVAA CertSAM MRCVS
The RTA cat can be a challenging beast. Many present with no witnessed trauma and often with a history of a period of absence; the classical acute presentation is possibly less common. A rapid primary survey of the patient’s airway, breathing and circulation should be followed by a more detailed evaluation of the major body systems (respiratory, cardiovascular, neurologic) – this should be accompanied by oxygen therapy and secure vascular access, both of which may themselves present unique challenges. The dyspnoeic cat intolerant of restraint will also be encountered. This lecture will cover the essential points of feline trauma management and discuss common presenting scenarios, their diagnosis and management. As ever, audience interaction is encouraged.
Kindly sponsored by National Veterinary Services (NVS).
Held at Cullompton RFC.
A hot meal will be served prior to the start of the talk at 7.15pm prompt with the talk commencing at 7.45pm.
