BSVP Newsgroup

In response to requests from our members, we have established a newsgroup for the exclusive use of BSVP members. This is to facilitate discussion of any aspect of veterinary pathology, including the discussion of case material with a wider audience.

We also hope that it will provide a forum in which we can hear your views on the issues concerning the Society’s future.

Click the link in the menu or hit this to find out more.

We look forward to welcoming you to the BSVP newsgroup.

communication

We are also interested to increase the communication within the society and the collaboration between BSVP members as well as the council and the members.

We hope that the newly established newsgroup will further this aim (see above).

If you would like to join please contact the BSVP secretariat.

BSVP Secretariat

The Secretariat takes on many of the day-to-day administrative tasks of the BSVP.

We have a PO Box (PO Box 6357, Kyleakin, Isle of Skye IV41 8WA, UK) and your administrative queries will now go straight through to the Secretariat.

careers in veterinary pathology

There is now a web site containing information on careers in veterinary pathology. It is aimed at anyone (undergraduate, graduate or student) who is interested in our discipline and you can access it by clicking here.

If you know of students or practitioners who are interested in following a career in veterinary pathology, this is a good place for them to start, so please point them in the right direction.

It is also now the location for any job advertisements and its remit will expand over the coming months.
