BEVA's Junior Vice President, Kate Blakeman, talks us through the the new Infectious Diseases hub on the BEVA website. Celia Marr chairs the BEVA Equine Infectious Diseases Group, which worked on this treasure trove of resources which helps vets and nurses out in practice. There are resources for clients also, which vets and nurses can share with the touch of a button. More resources are being worked on and the hub will evolve over time to b your one-stop-shop for clinical sign radars to consensus building tools, endemic to exotic, and biosecurity to vaccines.

This year Professor Chris Proudman published the first paper to demonstrate associations between a foalâs gut microbiome and its future athletic performance and its future respiratory health. The emerging fields of the "omics" has been one of the most exciting branches of science in recent years. Whilst we're a little way off understanding exactly how to capitalise on this in practice, it's already evident that interventions such as antibiotics and probiotics could potentially have far-reaching impacts on future health and performance.

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.

For equine veterinary professionals "being kind to ourselves" can sound a bit soft. 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.

During his Presidency, Dave Rendle's objective was to tidy up the way we use anthelmintics and start to afford these essential medicines the protection they deserve. On forming the Anthelmintic Working Group, he invited Nic Steel was to be one of the first opinion practitioners to help the group create simple, practical and effective guidance on how vets at the coal face could take responsibility for their roles in the unfolding tragedy that is anthelmintic resistance. Nic talks us through the protectMEtoo toolkit and how it now provides every vet with access to the essential, evidence-based, digestible (you can read this stuff in the time it takes to drink a coffee!) information that they need to know to help their clients and save these medicines for the future.
