With 22 modules, there are over 132 hours of available CPD at BSAVA Congress 2023!

Each lecture and practical workshop equals: 20-30 minutes = 0.5 CPD Point or 40-60 minutes = 1 CPD Point.

Available by attending sessions within the main programme, practical workshops, Abstracts and the Exhibition Theatre, you can collect a total of 6 hours of CPD per day.

Additional CPD can be obtained each day by attending our practical drop in sessions or the lectures taking place in the exhibition theatre.

Keep an eye on your inbox after the event as we will be sending all delegates a self-completing CPD certificate by email, for you to record your attendance.

Yes! If you are looking to send the whole practice, we can offer 20% discount on all listed registration categories when booking five or more tickets.
