BSAVA to champion clinical research at BVA Live 2026

26 November 2025

The British Small Animal Veterinary Association (BSAVA) is proud to announce a new partnership with BVA Live to support the Clinical Abstracts programme for 2026.

This collaboration will showcase excellence in veterinary research, with selected abstracts showcased 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.

As part of the partnership, BSAVA will also serve as an Association Partner at BVA Live 2026, contributing several sessions to the event’s educational programme. Researchers selected to present will receive a complimentary ticket to attend the event.

Amanda Stranack, Chief Executive Officer at BSAVA said: “BSAVA has always played an important role in supporting and promoting research opportunities for the profession. Our work through BSAVA PetSavers funds research and we provide platforms to promote all research across the small animal profession.

“We’re thrilled to be working with BVA Live in 2026 to provide this platform to elevate small animal clinical research and ensure veterinary professionals can share new insights with our members and the wider veterinary community. This partnership reflects our shared commitment to advancing veterinary science and supporting the next generation of researchers.”

Submissions for the 2026 Clinical Abstracts will open on 15th December 2025, and close on 6th March. You can register your interest now: https://www.bsavaclinicalabstracts.com/.
