The British Veterinary Orthopaedic Association (BVOA) has appointed orthopaedic specialist surgeon Andy Moores as its new chairman.

Dr Moores was confirmed in the role during the BVOA’s spring meeting, which was held in Manchester on 20 March ahead of BSAVA Congress.

A member of BVOA for more than 25 years, Dr Moores has previously served as junior vice-chair and initiated the organisation’s online discussion forum as well as organising scientific meetings.

An RCVS and ECVS Specialist, he was made a fellow of the RCVS for meritorious contributions to clinical practice in 2017. He currently runs an orthopaedic referral clinic in Hampshire, Moores Orphopaedic Clinic, which he co-founded with Richard Holie.

Dr Moore said: “It’s a great honour to take on the role of chairman for an organisation that I am so fond of.”

BVOA is a registered charity with the aim of collecting and sharing information about veterinary orthopaedics. Membership is open to all veterinary surgeons with an interest in orthopaedics. Other members of the veterinary profession, such as students and veterinary nurses, can become associate members if they are proposed and seconded by BVOA members.

Dr Moore added: “I truly believe sharing knowledge is essential to successful patient outcomes, and BVOA allows this in numerous ways.

“My thanks go out to the rest of the BVOA committee for continuing to ensure we have a strong and vibrant association, especially to Mark Bush my predecessor and to Sarah Girling who has left the committee this year after serving as senior vice-chair.”
