BSAVA president to focus on implementing new strategy

The British Small Animal Veterinary Association has named Carl Gorman as its new president.

One of Carl’s main presidential tasks will be implementing the BSAVA’s new strategy for 2024, which comes from a current project looking into the wider veterinary profession and how BSAVA can support the community.

Carl is the clinical director of a busy small animal and exotics practice in Newbury, which is also a partner practice for Surrey University, helping to train final year vet students.

He has been a member of BSAVA for 40 years and started volunteering for the Southern Regional Committee in 2013.

Carl said: “BSAVA has always been important to me in my professional life.

“Since becoming a volunteer, I have admired even more the dedication of the staff and volunteers who make up the association.

“I see my time on BSAVA Board as a service to the association and to the small animal veterinary world.

“Becoming President is a huge honour but is part of an ongoing commitment to doing what I can to help BSAVA thrive.”
