Veterinary practitioners are being asked for directions on how the UK profession should navigate its way through the uncharted waters of a world in which clinical advice is increasingly available online. But as demonstrated in the debate on telemedicine at BSAVA Congress 2019, there was no clear consensus among the delegates on how they should respond to the opportunities and threats posed by these technologies. John Bonner reports.

The BSAVA’s Affiliated Groups each offer specialist knowledge and outstanding CPD, and have an exciting series of autumn meetings lined up.

After the sudden passing of Alistair Gibson in March 2019, Paul Crawford pays tribute to his good friend and colleague and celebrates Alistair’s life and achievements.

  Carla Finzel set up the first UK district veterinary nurse (DVN) service in Sussex in 2015 and hopes to develop the concept nationally. She sees her work as the embodiment of the One Welfare – One Health ideal in providing help for the pets of owners who may be too frail themselves to bring the animal in for clinic-based veterinary care. Carla was born in Madrid and grew up in Spain and Ireland. She is the adopted daughter of a musician father, and mother who is a nurse.
