BEVA is an association for veterinary surgeons who are interested in horses. Membership offers a range of benefits.

BEVA holds meetings at which the latest information on equine matters is presented -with reduced registration fees to members.

Various types of meeting are held during the course of each year, details of which are available in the annual BEVA CPD Booklet:

• Clinical Workshops

• Congress

BEVA gives its members access to high quality journals, supplements and manuals at preferential rates, for example:

• EVE - Equine Veterinary Education
• EVJ - Equine Veterinary Journal
• Manual on Emergencies
• Pre-Purchase Examination Manual

The EVJ Postal Bookshop enables members to purchase a range of publications by mail order.

BEVA provides information on current issues, reviews of meetings and notices of other equine events via a regular newsletter.

BEVA is active on the political front and is involved in lobbying on current issues including:

• Threats to the range of equine medicines available for therapeutic use
• The involvement of para-professionals in equine dentistry and AI
• The roles and training of equine nurses in veterinary practice
• Microchipping and identification of horses
• Equine passports

As a BEVA member you can have a direct influence on these matters because BEVA is responsible for liasing and negotiating with other key bodies such as BVA, RCVS, DEFRA, the government - as well as with the European equivalents.

By belonging to a network of professionals with a common interest, you gain access to a forum for discussion of current issues

In this way, you can actively contribute to the evolution of our profession - whether your work is in practice, academia, industry or elsewhere.

By being a member of BEVA you can also enjoy the social aspect of meetings, courses and the ever popular Annual Congress.
