Submissions have opened for the BSAVA’s Clinical Research Abstracts, taking place at BVA Live 2026 in Birmingham.

Providing an opportunity to present new research to the veterinary community, the Clinical Research Abstracts can be on any veterinary subject, whether it’s the preliminary results of a new study, a discussion of a new technique or a description of an interesting case.

Each application should be based on high-quality clinical research undertaken in industry, practice or academia, and summarised in 250 words

Applications are welcome from vets, veterinary nurses, practice managers and students, with applications from those working in general practice especially encouraged.

Researchers with research of direct relevance to veterinary practice may also submit an abstract for consideration.

Those who are selected to present will receive a free complimentary ticket to BVA Live.

The Clinical Research Abstract awards will also give researchers the opportunity to present their winning abstract at London Vet Show 2026.

Julian Hoad, BSAVA President said: "We’re delighted to invite veterinary professionals to share their latest research with the wider community.

"The Clinical Research Abstracts offer a unique platform to showcase innovation, spark discussion, and contribute to the advancement of veterinary medicine. We look forward to seeing fresh ideas and emerging techniques that can shape the future of clinical practice. It’s an opportunity not to be missed!"

Submissions are open until 6th March 2025.
