BVA issues statement on Ukraine situation
"We are deeply concerned and saddened by the ongoing crisis unfolding in Ukraine" - Malcolm Morley, BVA.
Association will offer free membership to Ukrainian vets seeking to settle in the UK.

The British Veterinary Association (BVA) is offering free membership to Ukranian veterinary professionals looking to settle in the UK.

In a statement, Malcolm Morley, BVA junior vice president, said the Association is closely monitoring the situation and will share ways to help those most affected.

He said: “Like everyone, we are deeply concerned and saddened by the ongoing crisis unfolding in Ukraine. We will monitor the situation closely over the coming weeks and would advise any members who wish to support the humanitarian response to make a donation to charity appeals such as the ones being run by British Red Cross, Save the Children and UNICEF.

“As a gesture of support to the Ukrainian veterinary community, BVA will also offer free membership to any Ukrainian veterinary professionals looking to settle in the UK.”

Mr Morley added: “Following lobbying from FVE, the European Commission is allowing member states to authorise entry for pets accompanying Ukrainian refugees without them needing to make a prior application for an individual permit.

“The International Fund for Animal Welfare has also compiled a list of information and resources for people who are fleeing the country with their pets.”
