Dear Friends and Colleagues

The British Veterinary Dermatology Study Group (BVDSG) would like to welcome you to their Annual Autumn Meeting under the headline ‘Dermatological therapeutics’. This weekend meeting will take place on Saturday and Sunday 11th/12th November 2023 at Birmingham Metropole.

We are all looking forward to a fabulous scientific programme covering everything from antimicrobial therapy to zen (emotional impact of examination & therapy) delivered by world renowned speakers including Sarah heath, Katarina Varjonen, Christian Ortalda, Anette Löffler, Ross Bond and Andrew Prentis. In addition to the lectures we are also looking forward to seeing you all in person for networking and socialising, free from covid 19 constraints.

We thank our members and our sponsors for their continued support of BVDSG. Without you we would not be able to organise these meeting! We hope that you will all be able to join us for a weekend of world class Veterinary Dermatology CPD and catching up with friends and colleagues.
