BEVApod Focus: Hold your horses! Have you completed BEVA's new course?
Monday Nov 11, 2024
Monday Nov 11, 2024
RCVS Specialist in equine behavioural medicine, Gemma Pearson, talks us through the background story of this new course, available free to BEVA members. Gemma has compiled a bite-size, digestible course with the busy practitioner in mind, which includes new material, on equine behaviour and learning theory. Once completed, members will be added to a list on the BEVA website, demonstrating their knowledge and skills in this increasingly important aspect of clinical practice. Not only will you be able to work more safely and efficiently, but also with the calmness and ease that both horses and owners will benefit from and be grateful for.
BEVA members can access the course here.

Illness and injury can happen to anyone, but as equine vets and nurses we're at increased risk of being rendered unable to work. Two BEVA members have come to share their experiences of being off work and how income protection helped them through that time. BEVA members are eligible for discounted cover from PG Mutual, so CEO Andy Elkington joined us to explain how it works.

Clinical Psychologist Dr Wakelin shares with us how actually it's quite the opposite and how it can support our performance in the workplace as well as life outside of work. Dr Wakelin tells Council member Sophie Eaden more about what compassion is, how it can help and when it might be especially needed.

Farrier and Honorary Associate of the RCVS, Simon Curtis, talks to us about 'The Foot' stream at Congress this year, which takes place on the Saturday. The wealth of knowledge and skill which will be brought together looks to revolutionise how we tackle not only clinical conditions but how we view farriery as a way to help prevent various common causes of lameness. With vets and farriers singing from the same hymn sheet we can see significantly improved welfare and performance.
