We wish to see a central role for the vet to safeguard and improve the wellbeing of cattle and safety of our food within sustainable beef and dairy industries.
Mission - what we do
- We represent the views of members in the wider livestock industry
- We provide and signpost CPD for cattle vets and promote lifelong learning
- We promote cattle wellbeing (health and welfare)
- We provide a community for cattle vets in the UK to belong and share ideas and knowledge
Values - the guidelines we use to make our decisions and carry out our function
| Value | Guidelines |
|---|---|
| Leadership | We anticipate change; we listen to and represent views of our members; we look for long term opportunities and we aim to take critical decisions quickly |
| Animal wellbeing | The interests of cattle health and welfare remain foremost in our minds |
| Good governance | What we do must be in the members’ interests; be a reasonable use of members’ funds; provide value for money; be ethical and fair; and not be better or more appropriately done by someone else |
| Science | We take an evidence based approach to our decisions and promote evidence based CPD |
| Communication | We communicate our messages clearly to members and the appropriate audience. We strive to develop honest and strong 2-way communication with members and relevant organisations. |
| Fun | BCVA is a community. It should be fun too! |
