BVA Council seeks regional representatives
Nominations are now open for the seven available seats on BVA Council.
All sectors of the veterinary profession are encouraged to apply.

The British Veterinary Association (BVA) is inviting applications from vets across the UK wishing to join BVA Council. 

Specifically, BVA is seeking seven new council representatives in Wales and Northern Ireland, the North East, Yorkshire & Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands and London. Representatives from all sectors of the veterinary profession are encouraged to apply.

Each representative will sit on BVA Council for three years, bringing the perspective of vets from their region to help shape the organisation's policies. Elected members will receive free BVA membership for the whole of their term, with travel expenses paid. 

BVA president Malcolm Morley said: “Vet teams across the UK are facing extraordinary challenges and BVA’s role in representing, supporting and championing their diverse needs continues to grow. BVA Council forms the bedrock of the organisation, shaping strategic policy that will deliver a more resilient profession and improved animal welfare. 

“Regional Council representatives are vital to that process, ensuring we capture the unique perspectives and experience of vets across the country. It’s a thoroughly rewarding opportunity and I would urge all vets to consider applying, everyone has something to offer as we navigate today’s complex veterinary landscape.”

Outgoing BVA North East representative, Paul Freeman, added: “I've thoroughly enjoyed my time on BVA Council, representing the North East of England. It has given me the opportunity to engage with the wider profession and also with the issues currently affecting vets, their clients and their animals. 

“It has been a turbulent time, in which Brexit and the pandemic have figured prominently, but I have never ceased to be impressed by the BVA, its officers and staff, in response to the challenges we've faced. For anyone with an interest in the 'bigger picture' of the profession and keen to make a contribution to BVA's work, I would encourage you to stand as a regional rep.” 

BVA members interested in becoming a representative for their area can apply here. Applications will remain open until 9 am on Monday, 28 November 2022.
