NEW FOR 2024
The Society of Practising Veterinary Surgeons (SPVS) is running a two-day leadership/management programme aimed at both practice managers and aspiring managers, with a top line-up of speakers to be announced shortly. This must be booked separately but includes access to the congress exhibition along with catering, refreshments, etc. SPVS programme attendees may attend lectures on the main programmes but not vice-versa.
