1st International EBVM Network Conference

Nearly 250 delegates from 15 countries attended the 1^st International EBVM Network Conference (EBVM 2014) which ran from 23-24 October at the Beaumont Estate in Windsor, UK. The event was the first official meeting of the EBVM Network and featured more than 50 talks on evidence-based veterinary practice.

The conference was focussed on developing collaborations between professionals in practice, industry, not-for-profit organisations and academia, in order to make more evidence-based tools and resources available to front-line practitioners.

The conference programme included talks on extracting useful information from practices’ electronic medical records, evidence-based guidelines to treat atopic dermatitis and for CPR, as well as presentations on specific clinical topics covered by systematic reviews.
