Avian Influenza Core Group

A place is reserved on the Avian Influenza Core Group for a member of the BVPA presidential team. At Core Group meetings, updates are given on the Avian Influenza (AI) situation across the world and the risk to the UK is subsequently discussed.

In the event of an AI outbreak occurring in the UK regular updates are provided at Core Group meetings.

Furthermore, if matters such as housing orders are discussed, BVPA’s position will be based on the evidence available.

The objective of the BVPA is to further the knowledge of its members, who are drawn from academia, research, commerce and practice, by holding educational and technical meetings. This is achieved by holding three meetings (winter, spring and summer) a year.

The BVPA is a thriving Association with good attendances at its meeting and a great camaraderie among its members.
