| What is SPVS? |
SPVS was founded in 1933 to promote the interests of veterinary surgeons in private practice. We are also a division of the BVA which concentrates primarily on matters of practice management and finance, providing a source of information, advice and practical guidance for both partners and assistants. |
Our meetings move around the country. Currently we hold 1 day roadshows for professional and support staff, together with in-depth 1 and 2 day seminars on a variety of management topics. We utilise the skills of professionals from outside the profession as well as experienced veterinary surgeons with particular expertise. Education combined with sociability has always been key. |
We produce an annual yearbook, which gives practitioners across the country an overview of the issues of the day, plus is a useful source of practical information to refer to time and time again. This is sent free of charge to all UK practices. |
Our Council meets 3 times per year, discussing all aspects of current development within the profession, whilst giving considerable time to BVA policy matters and the papers produced for the BVA Council. We have 2 representatives on the BVA Council and have always been keen to give the Society's views on matters of concern to the profession. The Council identifies issues of concern and establishes working parties to investigate and establish policy or guidelines on matters concerning all age-groups of the profession. |
