Stay at the forefront of veterinary clinical research with the BSAVA Clinical Abstracts
We are proud to announce a new partnership with BVA Live to support the BSAVA Clinical Research Abstracts programme for 2026!
This collaboration will showcase excellence in veterinary research, with selected abstracts showcased in the BSAVA Theatre at BVA Live 2026 across both days of the event (11th –12th June). Presentations will be delivered in both poster and oral formats, giving researchers a dynamic platform to share their work with the wider veterinary community.
The Clinical Abstracts can be on any small animal 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.

“Winning the Surgery Award for the Clinical Abstract presented at the BSAVA Congress 2025 is a tremendous honour. This recognition not only validates the hard work and dedication put into my research but also encourages further exploration in advancing surgical techniques to improve outcomes for patients. It’s a humbling experience, and I look forward to continuing my contribution to the veterinary community.”
