The British Association of Homeopathic Veterinary Surgeons (BAHVS) was formed in 1981, to advance the understanding, knowledge and practice of homeopathy. It aims to stimulate professional awareness of homeopathy and to encourage and to provide for the training of
veterinary surgeons in the practice of homeopathy.
It is an open forum for differing approaches to the subject of veterinary homeopathy and it’s application, allowing for constructive interchanges of ideas.

The turning of the year always seems a significant event, a time of looking forward but also reviewing the past, the one time of the year that’s both a beginning and an ending. This poem I think encapsulates it beautifully, especially the thought that this is where we are with ourselves and our knowledge but there is so much before us that is still possible.
To the New Year
With what stillness at last
you appear in the valley
your first sunlight reaching down to touch the tips of a few
high leaves that do not stir
as though they had not noticed and did not know you at all
then the voice of a dove calls from far away in itself
to the hush of the morning
A beautiful and possible New Year to you all. Ilse
so this is the sound of you
here and now whether or not anyone hears it this is
where we have come with our age our knowledge such as it is
and our hopes such as they are invisible before us
untouched and still possible
