Our strategy exists to ensure the BSAVA remains relevant and trusted for the foreseeable future and is guided by three priorities:
Ensuring long-term sustainability: a strong and sustainable BSAVA allows us to continue to invest in the future of the profession. By strengthening our financial foundations, we can continue to develop the knowledge, education, community and professional support that veterinary professionals rely on, while ensuring the Association remains a stable and trusted part of the profession for years to come.
Growing and supporting our professional community: we want the small animal veterinary community to feel that the BSAVA is their professional home. By providing relevant education, practical resources, and opportunities to connect with peers, we aim to support veterinary professionals throughout their careers and strengthen the sense of community across the profession.
Championing the profession: we bring together the expertise and experience of the small animal veterinary community to help shape the future of the profession. By contributing insight, expertise and professional perspective to key discussions across the veterinary sector, we work to advance standards, support good practice and ensure the voice of the profession is heard.
How we deliver our strategy
We focus on four areas that shape how the BSAVA works to bring our strategy to life.
- Member value: developing integrated products, services and experiences that support veterinary professionals throughout their careers.
- Collaboration and community: strengthening connections across the profession through regional networks, digital engagement and partnerships.
- Voice and representation: bringing the lived experience of veterinary professionals into sector discussions and contributing credible, evidence-led insight.
- Operational capability: modernising how we operate so we can deliver consistently, responsibly and with accountability.
