News From The Trust<br />
Now in its fourth year the <strong>BEVA</strong> Trust and British Horse Society Healthcare<br />
Clinics are still very popular with member volunteers. This spring 37 vets and<br />
6 EVN’s enjoyed four great days of experience, team work and camaraderie.<br />
We are now looking for volunteers for the Autumn Clinics; Nottinghamshire<br />
on 25th September, York on 8th October and Aberdeen on 23rd October.<br />
Find out more about how to get involved and our current volunteering<br />
opportunities by visiting http://ow.ly/oqFo50vpgh0<br />
No need to be nervous!<br />
“After a group meeting<br />
and a vets huddle my<br />

Meet The <strong>BEVA</strong> President<br />
Congress marks the end of Renate Weller’s Presidency and the beginning of<br />
Tim Mair’s term. Before Tim takes the reins we ask them a few questions...<br />
Renate, what has been your<br />
presidential highlight?<br />
This is a really difficult question to<br />
answer… I guess the whole year really<br />
drove home what a great profession<br />
we are.<br />
I know it sounds really cheesy but<br />
wherever I went and whoever I spoke<br />
to, it is pretty clear that while we<br />
may wince and complain about a lot<br />
of things we all work towards one<br />
common goal which is to<br />
help animals.<br />
Can you tell us what you’re most<br />
proud of achieving?<br />
I’m pleased to announce we’re<br />
launching Leg Up at Congress 2019.<br />
A project to support new equine vets<br />
entering the profession by providing<br />
career advice and guidance from<br />
established equine vets who have<br />
been in their shoes. You can find out<br />
more on the <strong>BEVA</strong> website.<br />
Do you have any advice for Tim?<br />
Enjoy it!!<br />
Tim, what do you hope to achieve in<br />
your presidential year?<br />
Survive the year <strong>without</strong> any<br />
disasters! But also...<br />
• Continue <strong>BEVA</strong>’s work on the<br />
current problems of recruitment<br />
and retention.<br />
• Support undergraduates<br />
interested in pursuing a career in<br />
equine practice.<br />
• Support recent graduates in<br />
equine practice with CPD and<br />
mentoring.<br />
• Investigate future developments<br />
in equine practice in the next<br />
10-15 years.<br />
• Continue to promote<br />
awareness of antimicrobial and<br />
anthelmintic resistance and<br />
investigate practical ways that<br />
the profession can slow their<br />
progression.<br />
What do you think will be your<br />
biggest challenge for the year?<br />
Brexit!<br />

Get to know Tim<br />
We’ve asked Tim a few extra<br />
questions to find out a bit more<br />
about him.<br />
Any favourite hobbies?<br />
Hill-walking and gardening.<br />
Where’s your favourite holiday<br />
destination?<br />
India.<br />
Favourite career memory?<br />
Performing a laparotomy to remove<br />
a bladder stone in a horse on the<br />
owner’s lawn (in 1981)! In the middle<br />
of the surgery the owner arrived<br />
with lemonade and cucumber<br />
sandwiches! The horse made<br />
a full recovery.<br />
Performing a laparotomy<br />
to remove a bladder stone<br />
in a horse on the owner’s<br />
lawn (in 1981)!<br />
If you weren’t a vet what would you<br />
do for a living?<br />
Medicine I guess - maybe a<br />
pathologist.<br />
Our social media campaign<br />
this year asks how far everyone<br />
is travelling to Congress, so<br />
#howfarwouldyougo?<br />
170 miles.<br />
What one thing would you take to a<br />
desert island and why?<br />
A hammock to relax and sleep in.<br />

Giving Vets a Leg Up<br />
We’re pleased to announce the launch of a new pilot scheme called ‘Leg<br />
Up’ designed to support those entering the equine veterinary profession.<br />
We catch up with Rachel Davis who has been training our coaches to find<br />
out more.<br />
transition into the workplace.<br />
The Leg Up coaching scheme<br />
provides a safe space for them to<br />
do high quality thinking around<br />
these challenges in the presence<br />
of a trusted colleague – someone<br />
who knows when to listen, when<br />
to question and when to refer on.<br />
This scheme aims to help newly<br />
qualified vets develop the skills to<br />
help themselves - navigating their<br />
own professional journey, in their<br />
own way, with maximum professional<br />
growth and enjoyment.<br />
We’ve worked with you over the<br />
last six months to train our coaches,<br />
what has happened and how has it<br />
gone?<br />
The trainees have worked really hard<br />
in developing their coaching skills:<br />
attending two full day workshops,<br />
four online webinars and monthly<br />
reflective discussion forums. During<br />
this time, they have been learning<br />
about the importance of presence,<br />
connection, active listening and<br />
incisive questions in coaching-style<br />
conversations. They have also been<br />
getting hands-on experience with a<br />
volunteer equine vet.<br />
How could a newly qualified vet<br />
benefit from the Leg Up scheme?<br />
Newly qualified vets can experience<br />
a wide range of personal and<br />
professional challenges as they<br />
The scheme aims to<br />
help newly qualified<br />
vets develop the skills<br />
to help themselves<br />
How do you sign up to the Leg Up<br />
scheme?<br />
<strong>BEVA</strong> are running Leg Up as a pilot<br />
for the first time. The scheme will<br />
only be open to <strong>BEVA</strong> concessionary<br />
members to see how much appetite<br />
there is for this type of support<br />
among vets and to make sure it<br />
helps support those entering the<br />
profession. <strong>BEVA</strong> are creating a page<br />
on their website detailing all the<br />
coaches’ profiles so you can browse<br />
and self-select who you would like<br />
to be your coach. Those interested<br />
in joining the scheme should pick<br />
three coaches they would prefer to<br />
be coached by and then complete<br />
the short application and email it to<br />
legup@beva.org.uk.<br />

The Congress<br />
Committee<br />
Answers...<br />
If you could only attend one lecture this year what<br />
would you choose?<br />
Keeping the Sports Horse on the Road (Saturday)<br />
“I can’t wait to hear what these ‘coal-face’ sports<br />
horse clinicians have to say in a panel discussion<br />
about how they ‘tweak and treat’ their patients.<br />
People are understandably secretive about their<br />
methods and this creates an air of mystery, but also<br />
a fear of the unknown for those trying to learn in this<br />
field. Linear learning from one mentor can lead to a<br />
blinkered approach and so any opportunity for open<br />
discussion is gratefully received!”<br />
Lucy Grieve - Rossdales Equine Practice<br />
Reproductive Examination, Equine Fetal Sexing,<br />
Marco Livini (Thursday PM)<br />
“If you are going to make me choose one, which I<br />
really don’t want to, I will pick Marco Livini as he is<br />
a marvellous speaker and I expect some great<br />
imagery on show. But there are loads of lectures<br />
I would like to listen to in all the sessions, including<br />
Valeria Busoni on Stifle Ultrasound, the Reproduction<br />
Workshop, Foal Medicine, Dean Hendrickson on<br />
IVRP Antibiotic Choice and the Fine Tuning Before<br />
Competitions lecture”.<br />
James Crabtree - Stud Medicine<br />
Dean Hendrickson on “What antibiotic should I be<br />
using for my IVRP” (Saturday AM)<br />
“In our hospital we have no best practice protocol<br />
for use of IVRP and it is always a subject of debate.<br />
With the plethora of papers on IVRP, it’s hard to work<br />
out many things; which is the best antibiotic? At what<br />
concentration? How long to leave the tourniquet in<br />
place? How frequently to use IVRP? When can you<br />
get away <strong>without</strong> doing IVRP? I’m looking forward to<br />
some practical guidance from Dean Hendrickson.”<br />

only better for the environment but<br />
benefits you too!<br />
• Reduced fuel costs and parking<br />
fees<br />
• Better air quality and lower<br />
carbon emissions due to<br />
reduced traffic fumes<br />

Reproduction - “an everevolving<br />
discipline”<br />
Jonathan Pycock,<br />
course organiser<br />
for Equine<br />
Reproduction at<br />
the Next Level<br />
tells us about his<br />
new course<br />
Equine<br />
reproduction is<br />
an ever-evolving<br />
discipline. As well<br />
as the basic aspects being important,<br />
there is a need for colleagues already<br />
experienced in the field to develop<br />
and hone their skills. This course<br />
is designed to offer that advanced<br />
learning experience. A few select<br />
topics have been chosen and will<br />
form the basis of interactive lectures<br />
in the morning, followed by “handson”<br />
wet labs in the afternoon.<br />
With the increase in interest<br />
surrounding assisted reproductive<br />
techniques, embryo transfer<br />
including flushing, searching and<br />
preparation for transfer is of interest<br />
to many practitioners. Likewise,<br />
due to new techniques, subfertile<br />
stallions can still be included in AI<br />
programmes. The course provides a<br />
unique opportunity to study these<br />
topics in a “working” environment<br />
as the course is at one of the UK’s<br />
largest embryo transfer and semen<br />
freezing centres.<br />
The course will also discuss the<br />
relatively new techniques of Doppler<br />
ultrasound, the less understood<br />
stallion ultrasonography and<br />
therapeutic approaches to reduce<br />
early pregnancy failure.<br />
Pioneering stem cell treatments for<br />
mares with endometrosis will also be<br />
reviewed and discussed.<br />

cardiology. The day is split into two sessions, the first concentrating<br />
on clinical pathophysiology of equine heart disease, and the<br />
second on diagnosing arrhythmias during and after exercise with<br />
an interactive ECG reading session.<br />
The programme aims to devleop an understanding of the<br />
pathophysiology and diagnosis of common equine heart diseases<br />
and refresh knowledge on auscultation, echocardiography and<br />
electrocardiography, whilst building confidence in identifying and<br />
interpreting heart murmurs, echo abnormalities and arrhythmias.<br />

Goodwood Motor Circuit,<br />
West Sussex<br />
Trevor Bell and Goodwood Advanced Driving Team<br />
With driving part of an ambulatory vet’s everyday routine,<br />
the winter weather can increase work-related anxiety. Learning<br />
how to drive safely on wet, windy and even icy roads provides<br />
peace of mind whilst significantly lowering the risk of accident<br />
and injury.<br />
This course aims to prevent spins and crashes, both in the car<br />
and mentally. It teaches participants how to identify and manage<br />
stress, strains and anxiety both within themselves and their<br />
colleagues, as well as giving one-to-one tuition with a professional<br />
Goodwood driving instructor to drive quickly but safely in varying<br />
situations, ensuring you make it to your appointments in one<br />
piece and on time!<br />

Driving this Winter<br />
Winter isn’t a fun time to drive: the roads are wet, winds batter you from<br />
all directions and you’ll inevitably get stuck in more traffic than normal. To<br />
keep any skidding and tyre squealing to the track, we’ve put together some<br />
top tips for winter driving (we know it’s boring but we want our vets to stay<br />
safe!)<br />
During extreme weather motorists are<br />
advised against driving altogether,<br />
but for ambulatory vets this is simply<br />
not an option. From a quick Google<br />
search, much of the guidance is<br />
geared towards driving in heavy<br />
snow, a rare occurence in the UK.<br />
The doom and gloom of Britain’s<br />
weather is more likely to bring wind,<br />
rain and dark nights. We collated<br />
some simple tips to limit the misery<br />
it brings.<br />
Wind<br />
• Take extra care when overtaking<br />
others - particularly be aware<br />
of sudden gusts of wind when<br />
passing large vehicles such as<br />
lorries.<br />
• Hold the steering wheel firmly<br />
- maintaining a constant grip of<br />
the wheel will give you as much<br />
control as possible.<br />
Rain<br />
• Reduce your speed - slowing<br />
down lessens the risk of<br />
aquaplaning.<br />
• Use a low gear when driving<br />
through flooded areas - keep<br />
your engine revs up but don’t<br />
rush to avoid flooding your<br />
engine.<br />
• Put your lights on - you will<br />
improve your visibility to others<br />
when driving in the rain or spray.<br />
The Dark<br />
• Check your lightbulbs - ensure<br />
both your rear and head-lights<br />
are functioning correctly.<br />
• Clean your windows and<br />
windscreen - condensation<br />
can leave a hazy film on your<br />
windscreen and windows which<br />
will impair visibility.<br />
• Pack supplies in case of<br />
emergency - store a collapsible<br />
shovel and reflective jackets in<br />
your boot.<br />

Equine Emergencies can take many different forms and come<br />
with their own unique set of pressures. From the panicked client<br />
to the distressed horse there is rarely more pressure on you to<br />
make the right decisions quickly.<br />
This meeting is aimed at covering a range of common equine<br />
emergencies the first opinion practitioner is likely to see. The<br />
course will provide information on how to approach them in order<br />
to make decisions easier and considerably less stressful for all<br />
concerned.<br />

Approach to the Moody Mare: Behaviour, Gastrointestinal, Ovarian<br />
and Musculoskeletal<br />
21/11/2019<br />
Newmarket,<br />
Suffolk<br />
This meeting is designed to give practical advice to equine<br />
practitioners when faced with the complex problems associated<br />
with mares. There is often a fine line between what is classified as<br />
a behaviour, what is attributed to hormonal imbalances and what<br />
is caused by gastrointestinal or musculoskeletal pain. This course<br />
should give sufficient insight to allow equine vets to tease apart<br />
the thorny issues of how much a “Moody Mare’s problems” are<br />
caused by pain, behaviour and hormonal abnormalities.<br />

2020 <strong>BEVA</strong> CPD Announced<br />
<strong>BEVA</strong>’s Learning Manager Sarah Gasper tells us what the 2020 course<br />
programme has in store for us.<br />
insurance radiographs. The second<br />
day is aimed at vets, nurses and<br />
techs alike.<br />
Also new for 2020 is Orthopaedic<br />
Ultrasound with Jean-Marie Denoix<br />
teaching, as well as the Colic Day<br />
with Tim Mair.<br />
<strong>BEVA</strong> CPD courses are<br />
designed to suit all<br />
levels of the profession,<br />
from new graduates to<br />
experienced surgeons<br />
If you could only attend one course<br />
in 2020 which would it be and why?<br />
It’s difficult to decide! Probably “Pain<br />
Management in Ambulatory Practice”<br />
as it covers practical tips on how to<br />
manage pain on a yard, something<br />
that with laminitics and fractures<br />
can be very difficult. “How to Heal<br />
Wounds in Horses” course would also<br />
be very useful though!<br />
What’s new for 2020?<br />
There are several new courses!<br />
PPE Imaging is designed as a step<br />
up from our popular PPE course. This<br />
new course will cover the imaging<br />
aspects of vetting with a theory and<br />
discussion day about interpretation<br />
of radiographs, ultrasound and<br />
endoscopy and a practical day<br />
looking at how to take the perfect<br />
set of TB and Sports Horse sales and<br />
How did <strong>BEVA</strong> put together the 2020<br />
programme?<br />
Our CPD programme is drafted by<br />
the elected Education Committee<br />
using feedback from the annual<br />
members survey and post-course<br />
questionnaires. Previous course<br />
history including popularity of the<br />
course, and what the Education<br />
Committee think members would<br />
benefit learning from all help make<br />
up our programme.<br />

of our 2020 courses. Book online or<br />

Celebrating 15 years of<br />
Disease Surveillance<br />
We’re celebrating with the Animal Health Trust (AHT) the 15th anniversary<br />
of the Defra / AHT / <strong>BEVA</strong> Disease Surveillance Scheme. We find out more<br />
about them...<br />
What is the Defra / AHT / <strong>BEVA</strong> /<br />
Disease Surveillance Scheme?<br />
The Equine <strong>Quarter</strong>ly Disease<br />
Surveillance Reports collate equine<br />
disease data arising from multiple<br />
diagnostic laboratories and veterinary<br />
practices throughout the United<br />
Kingdom. This provides an exceptional<br />
insight into equine disease<br />
occurrence on a national scale. It<br />
is produced by the Department for<br />
Food, Environment and Rural Affairs<br />
(Defra), the British Equine Veterinary<br />
Association (<strong>BEVA</strong>), the Animal &<br />
Plant Health Agency (APHA) and<br />
the Animal Health Trust (AHT) on<br />
a quarterly basis and is distributed<br />
to an extensive list of national and<br />
international recipients as well to all<br />
<strong>BEVA</strong> members<br />
How are you celebrating the 15th<br />
year of the collaboration?<br />
Colleagues from AHT will be at the<br />
<strong>BEVA</strong> Members’ Lounge at <strong>BEVA</strong><br />
Congress 2019 to share what the<br />
scheme has achieved so far and to<br />
introduce the reports to new readers.<br />
<strong>BEVA</strong> will also be awarding the AHT<br />
with a certificate of appreciation in<br />
recognition of the hard work they do<br />
to keep the equine veterinary profession<br />
informed about disease status.<br />
Equine disease has<br />
been especially<br />
topical this year, given<br />
the magnitude and<br />
continuation of the<br />
flu outbreaks. <strong>BEVA</strong> is<br />
proud to play an active<br />
role in this important<br />
surveillance initiative.<br />

We’re Here for Nurses too<br />
We’re making our CPD courses more<br />
accessible to nurses in 2020<br />
We’re excited to announce from<br />
January 2020 we will be involving<br />
nurses on more of our practical<br />
courses. For example our PPE<br />
imaging course includes a practical<br />
day that will be suitable for nurses as<br />
well as vets, technicians and interns.<br />

the <strong>BEVA</strong> Equine Behavioural<br />
Modification Day or the How to<br />
Heal Wounds in Horses course in<br />
Edinburgh.<br />

As well as practical courses we will<br />
be adding more online nurse CPD<br />
to our learning platform that <strong>BEVA</strong><br />
members can access allowing nurses<br />
the option to keep up to date from<br />
their own homes, <strong>without</strong> having to<br />
eat into their CPD budgets.<br />

Income Protection from PG Mutual<br />
Did you know your <strong>BEVA</strong> membership entitles you to 15% off an<br />
Income Protection policy with PG Mutual? Account Manager, Mo Shaikh,<br />
answers a Q & A on policy benefits.<br />
What does the PG Mutual policy<br />
cover?<br />
The policy can cover up to 70%<br />
of your gross income or £5,200 a<br />
month, whichever is lower. If you are<br />
injured, or you fall ill, the monthly<br />
benefit is payable until you are well<br />
enough to return to work or reach<br />
the age of 65, whichever is sooner.<br />
PG Mutual assess all policies before<br />
implementation and can also cover<br />
Equine Vets for equestrian sport.<br />
Why should Equine Vets consider<br />
Income Protection?<br />
Many Equine Vets have financial<br />
commitments such as rent,<br />
mortgages and credit cards to<br />
the usual monthly bills. If you are<br />
unfortunate to be off work due to an<br />
injury or illness, these commitments<br />
will still need to be paid.<br />
Income Protection could ensure that<br />
the bills are taken care of leaving<br />
you to get better, making sure your<br />
lifestyle and that of your family does<br />
not need to change.<br />
Are there any additional benefits to<br />
having a PG Mutual policy?<br />
• PG Mutual has no shareholders,<br />
meaning members share in any<br />
annual profits.<br />
• A 24/7 GP app providing instant<br />
access to a GP with the touch of<br />
a button.<br />
• Telephone Counselling & Helpline<br />
Service for when you need a little<br />
extra support.<br />
• An Enhanced Loyalty Bonus<br />
top-up to £10,000 and sixmonth’s<br />

member’s family in the event of<br />
their death.<br />
