FECAVA Bulletin – août 2020

4. septembre 2020

2020. A year we will remember forever. Or, at least try to forget as soon as possible.
At the beginning of March, just a few days before the traveling became impossible, FECAVA Council met in Antwerp, Belgium. We had a full agenda of plans for the year. Unaware of what changes a COVID-19 pandemic will soon bring.

The core activity of FECAVA, as well as national associations, are educational events. Some were moved on-line, and many congresses were postponed. At this time, we were supposed to be planning our trip to the WSAVA/FECAVA/PSAVA Congress in Poland, which was postponed to March 21 – 24, 2021. Hopefully, we’ll catch up on all the necessary CPD hours as well as time spent with our friends from abroad next year as we plan the 27th FECAVA EuroCongress from September 8-11, 2021 in Prague as well.

Despite the postponed dates of the Congress, we have already chosen FECAVA IVC Evidensia Student Travel Scholarship recipients for 2020. Despite the physical distance, the FECAVA board and working groups are still working on exciting projects. We plan to launch new infographics on three different topics soon. You can find much interesting information on our webpage and on social media: COVID-19 resources; interviews with vets across Europe who share their experiences in working in more than one country; highlights on clinical updates and information for pet owners; veterinary and pet news across Europe. Also, last but not least monthly blog posts on Mental Health and well-being. So, stay connected.

Dear colleagues, thank you for being there for our patients in these difficult times. And don’t forget to take care of yourself as well – stay healthy, stay safe.
