Benefits of BVHA Membership

• Representation. One of the most important reasons to join the BVHA is to have your voice heard. Whether you have a question about part of the Standards in the Practice Standards Scheme, or are concerned about a more political issue, BVHA is here to represent you. We are able to seek views of our membership very quickly and respond with representations to the relevant people.
• Consultation. The 2010 version of the Practice Standards Scheme is due to be announced shortly. Ensure you have fed to us any changes you would suggest.
• Discounts on Association events, for all staff of member practices, both Hospital members and non-Hospital Associates. Everything that we do is cheaper for members.
• Goods. We have an extensive range of goods for sale, including books on Hospital design and materials to help promote to your clients the benefits of their having chosen a Veterinary Hospital for their pet. All goods are either available only to members, or at a reduced rate to members. Click here to view the price list or here to download it as a PDF.
• Block advertising for member Hospitals to place in Yellow Pages. The BVHA supplies a list of member Hospitals to the Yellow Pages team annually, so your local Yellow Pages sales person should know all about it. If you have any difficulties in using the scheme, contact the BVHA office and we will try to help via our own scheme contact.
• Plan Reviews. The BVHA Council is happy to consider and advise on the development of your own building or refurbishment plans. See the price list for prices and more information.
• The BVHA Stand. BVHA has produced a collapsible display stand, available for hire, which makes an ideal frontispiece for your practice's Open Day or other function. The lightweight stand collapses down into its own container, which also doubles up as a speaker's lectern. The container has wheels for ease of transport. The stand comes complete with low voltage display lights and a range of mounted photographs illustrating aspects of veterinary hospital life. A separate pull up display carries the "What is a Veterinary Hospital?" information display. You can also produce your own photographs or poster displays and use Velcro to mount them on the stand. You can also use our suppliers to have your practice photographs laminated and mounted on matching backing to the BVHA's display items.
