There are several different categories of membership available to vets. You can either join as practice member or as an individual member. See below for more information.

 
practice membership
 
   
 

Practice membership is aimed specifically at veterinary practices. Cats are now the number one pet in Britain and the pressure on veterinary practices to have superior feline knowledge is growing all the time. Membership of fab not only provides veterinary surgeons and nurses with the latest feline veterinary knowledge, but demonstrates to your clients that you are cat-orientated and serious about feline health care. We already have a substantial number of practices as members and the numbers are growing all the time.

Practice membership incorporates both membership of the Feline Advisory Bureau and the European Society of Feline Medicine.
