Business and careers sessions have been added to the programme at BVA Live this summer to help inspire and empower those in the veterinary community.
BVA Live, which takes place from June 23 – 24, 2022 at NEC Birmingham, is being held by the British Veterinary Association and organisers of the London Vet Show, CloserStill Media (CSM), and aims to bring the veterinary community together to champion, support and empower the profession.
The two-day event includes an extensive exhibition, big issue debates and high quality and practical CPD covering a huge range of clinical and non-clinical topics, as well as plenty of networking opportunities, including a social event on the first evening.
As part of the event, BVA and CSM have created an exciting programme of talks, among them specific business and careers sessions, which will run on both days in the BVA Career and Debate Theatre.
Topics will range from how to make your CV stand out from the crowd, leadership career stories and rebuilding veterinary businesses for “health, wealth and happiness”.
Former vet and now managing director of Sandstone Communications, Paul Horwood, is among the speakers who will be presenting in the BVA Career and Debate Theatre on the Friday.
He will be discussing ‘Leadership – being outside of your comfort zone’ and is really looking forward to taking to the stage.
He said: “I am so looking forward to catching up with friends and colleagues.
“Leadership is all about the people, talking, interacting, motivating and inspiring each other, and it is important that we spend time connecting and interacting in reality after so long behind a screen.”
