The BEVA Clinical Research Week, 2-8th November 2020, will bring together equine veterinary professionals to discuss some of the latest research being published.
The Clinical Research Week contains a selection of accepted abstracts for BEVA Congress 2020, which unfortunately had to be postponed. The authors have pre-recorded their presentations and we've made these available to all BEVA members via our Online Learning Platform. BEVA members will also have the opportunity to ask questions and discuss the research with the authors on the Online Learning Platform during our Clinical Research Week (2-8th November 2020).
All of the abstracts have been published in a special 2020 Equine Veterinary Journal supplement and are currently free to access.
"We are delighted to still be able to publish these high-quality clinical research abstracts to disseminate this excellent information. We are determined to prevent a global pandemic prohibiting our progress in research and education in equine practice." Ceri Sherlock, BEVA Congress Committee Chair 2020
