BVHA Council generally meets three times a year to discuss
matters of interest to the Association. Council plans the various BVHA meetings
and activities and also collates views for presentation to BVA council on other
matters. Council is also intimately involved in the creation and revision of
the Hospital standards. Council also helps to develop and approve various
marketing items to assist member hospitals in the promotion of their services.
The council meetings also provide opportunities for "Plan Reviews" where
projected veterinary developments (not necessarily of Hospital standard) are
discussed and advice given.
If you would be interested in helping with the organisation of
the BVHA and serving on Council, please contact the
Secretariat,
or
President.
