The federation will be promoting the interests and values of independent practices.
The Federation of Independent Veterinary Practices (FIVP) has announced that it will be attending this year’s BEVA Congress.
FIVP, a not-for-profit organisation which represents the interests of independent veterinary practices and promotes their values, will be at stand (D4) from 14-16 September 2023.
The federation is planning to use the opportunity to talk about the major topics which are currently affecting independent practices.
Rita Dingwall, FIVP business development manager, said: “The team from FIVP are looking forward to welcoming members and potential members to their stand (D4) at the BEVA Congress.
“This is an opportunity to discuss important topics that are affecting independent practices and to share and collaborate.”
FIVP was founded in 2016 and offers membership to independent veterinary practices across the UK, as well as free individual membership to veterinary professionals. It regularly represents independent practices at congresses and other events, including a recent debate at the House of Lords.
This year’s BEVA Congress, which will be held at the ICC in Birmingham from 13-16 September, will offer more than 90 hours of live and on demand CPD, as well as four planned social events. The programme has been created by veterinary professionals and is aimed at veterinary surgeons, nurses, and students.
Speaking about the upcoming congress, BEVA’s event manager Jocelyn Thompson said: “Whether you want to party it up every night or check into a spa hotel for a relaxing mini break vibe after a busy day of CPD lectures and networking, congress can deliver. We even have facilities for parents who need to bring children or babies along.”
