RCVS Trust offers veterinary surgeons BVA Congress places

Veterinary surgeons who can keep it short and sweet have a chance of receiving an all (reasonable) expenses paid trip to BVA Congress this September.

The RCVS Trust is offering to pay the registration fee, plus travel, food and accommodation costs for two nights for two vets to attend the whole conference.

The catch?

Would-be delegates must have graduated within the past eight years and be able to explain – in fifty words or fewer – how this support would benefit them educationally.

Cherry Bushell, RCVS Trust Director explains:

“It is a bit of a light-hearted approach, however, the idea is to make relatively new vets think in a focused way about what they would get out of going to BVA Congress.

"They need to tell us how they will benefit educationally from the opportunity we’re offering – it’s not simply about financial need.”

Applicants should send an email to [email protected] before 24 August, with their name and contact details and convince the Trust, in fifty words or fewer, that they would get the most out of attending BVA Congress.

Only the first 100 emails received by the Trust will be considered. Registration fees will be paid directly to the BVA and all costs claimed must be reasonable.

The BVA 2009 Annual Congress will be held at the Mecure Holland House Hotel, Cardiff, from 24-26 September. View more details.

(Please note: Only emailed applications that meet the given criteria will be accepted. Registration fees will be paid directly to BVA. All expenses will be paid on submission of receipts. The Trust reserves the right to withdraw this offer at any time.)
