BSAVA is holding Alba 2022 - a weekend congress of CPD, networking and ceilidh dancing - on 16th/17th September at the Macdonald Inchyra Hotel in Polmont, Falkirk.

Formerly known as BSAVA’s Scottish Congress, Alba delegates will be treated to 28 lectures, four practicals, ten hours of CPD and a commercial exhibition.

There are three lecture streams: one for vets, another for vet nurses and another open to all.

Highlights include ‘Echocardiology’ with Kieran Borgeat, ‘Dermatology: What can nurses do?’ with Sue Paterson, and ‘Wildlife Triage’ with Jenna Richardson.

The practical sessions are open to all and include sampling techniques, suturing and a ferret clinical exam.

There's a gala dinner on Friday 16th from 7:30pm, starting with a drinks reception, followed by dinner and entertainment in the evening, with a live band and ceilidh dancing.

Angela McLaughlin, Scottish Regional Chair at the BSAVA said: “We are delighted that we are returning to Scotland after three years away as this is a great event that allows vets and nurses the opportunity to improve their skills and knowledge, while visiting an idyllic part of the country!”

For BSAVA members, tickets cost £240 +VAT for vets, £165 +VAT for veterinary nurses, and £65 +VAT for students.

Day tickets and non-member tickets are also available.

There's an additional fee of £10 +VAT for all practical sessions.

Tickets for the gala dinner are £35 for delegates and £55 for guests.
