The BVA is inviting applications from veterinary professionals who want to help shape the future of the profession.
Applications have opened for anyone wanting to join BVA council, or one of its panels and committees.
The association is seeking members with a range of experience and professional expertise. Among the positions is a vacancy on BVA council for a recent graduate member who is keen to participate in discussions and bring forward the views of their peers.

Two vacancies are available to MRCVS for the Ethics and Welfare Advisory Panel, and positions are also available on BVA branch councils in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, as well as for the BVA’s new member benefits and events committee.
All positions are voluntary and work carried out counts towards members’ CPD.

“This is an exciting opportunity for individuals who want their voices to be heard to get involved in shaping BVA policies. I’d urge anyone interested to apply for these positions, which are sure to be both rewarding and highly interesting. We look forward to hearing from you.”
