 Watch Again! A recording of our latest webinar is now available.

With Paula Boyden, Wendy Sneddon, Vicki Betton, Dave Martin, Caroline Allen and Mike Flynn.

Reports show that cases of domestic abuse have risen to shocking new levels since the first UK-wide lockdown in March 2020.Due to popular demand, we’ve reconvened our expert panel 6 months on from our last roundtable on this issue to explore the ongoing impacts of COVID-19 on domestic abuse, the role pets and other animals can play in abusive homes and how veterinary professionals can fulfil their role in recognising and acting on signs of non-accidental injuries, while providing current emergency-only veterinary services. Our group of experts will provide practical guidance and advice for veterinary teams by discussing a range of scenarios and answering questions live.

BVNA This Is Us 2020

 'Is there a link between animal abuse and domestic violence?' 

While there is overwhelming evidence to support the case that there is, many wouldn't recognise it, may not consider it, or know what to do about suspicions or concerns, so we're hoping to get some great audience participation from RVNs discussing the crucial part they play in recognising abuse cases - more important now than ever with the rise in reported cases of domestic abuse during lockdown. 

If you're online for the event -free for BVNA members- please say hi in the chat box!
