Huge congratulations
on finishing your veterinary degree studies
And even more good news – as a new graduate you can be the first to benefit from GrapeVINe™ – BSAVA’s gateway to the international expertise available on VIN.
Not only that – to celebrate the launch of GrapeVINe™ and our new partnership with VIN – we are going to give you free access from now until the end of your first year as a qualified veterinary surgeon.

Until January, BSAVA and VIN are going to support your first months as an MRCVS by letting you enjoy all the BSAVA student member benefits, PLUS you can also access VIN.

We know you are going to find this invaluable. With the already impressive consultant base on VIN being reinforced by more UK and European consultants thanks to the BSAVA/VIN partnership, you will not only be able to access an archive of expertise, you’ll be able to engage directly with some of the most distinguished specialists within our profession.

All this plus all the benefits of being a full BSAVA member. 

What you get
■ July–December ’09 – free continued access to all BSAVA benefits and to VIN via the GrapeVINe™ gateway at www.bsava.com
■ January–December ’10 – When you join BSAVA as First-Year-Qualified member for just £65.00 you get all the benefits of a full member (outlined below) as well as complementary access to VIN via GrapeVINe™
■ As long as you set up a direct debit in your first year for the following year, we will continue to give you free access to GrapeVINe™ in your second year. This offer is exclusive to 2009 graduates only

How to get it
■ As a final year student you should have been taking advantage of free membership of the BSAVA and access to VIN – however we do not have a record for you. But it isn't too late – please join the BSAVA as a fifth year student member, providing us with your email address and permanent contact details and we will give you six months free membership of the Association plus access to VIN via GrapeVINe™ – then do nothing until December
■ In December upgrade your membership to the First-Year-Qualified category and you will get all the advantages of being a full BSAVA member PLUS have access to GrapeVINe™ for a further year
