The series of 16 short films, introduced by national newsreader Natasha Kaplinsky,
examines some of the key interests of BVA members from veterinary wellbeing to veterinary
surveillance and preventive healthcare. It also includes an interview with BVA President
Sean Wensley and Chief Executive David Calpin.



Three of the 'Veterinary View' films are studio debates between BVA Junior Vice
President Gudrun Ravetz, Professor the Lord Trees, Helena Diffey, President of the
Association of Veterinary Students (AVS) and the Veterinary Schools Council's Dr. Clare
Allen on veterinary education and the future of the veterinary profession.



Sean Wensley, BVA President, said: "Veterinary View not only celebrates some of the
veterinary profession's fantastic work, but complements our joint project with RCVS, Vet
Futures, in exploring how the profession can best shape its own future. We hope it will
stimulate debate among vets, and the wider community in which we work, about both the big
challenges and opportunities that the veterinary profession is facing."
