Antech, part of Mars Science & Diagnostics, will introduce UK veterinary professionals to its Antech Academy continuing professional development (CPD) programme for the first time at London Vet Show (19-20 November 2026), and debut an immersive virtual reality experience offering a behind-the-scenes look at veterinary laboratory diagnostics.
Antech Academy Live: 16 CPD sessions at London Vet Show
At the heart of the showcase is Antech Academy Live, a programme of 16 educational sessions delivered by leading veterinary specialists, clinicians and scientific experts over the two-day event.
It offers UK practitioners a first introduction to Antech Academy, an established education platform in mainland Europe reaching more than 16,000 veterinarians, with more than 320 on-demand modules and 200 live and in-person events annually.
The Antech Academy Live programme will tackle a wide range of clinical challenges, from cancer investigations and complex internal medicine cases to blood gas interpretation, urinalysis and responsible antimicrobial use. Sessions will also explore blood smear preparation, flow cytometry and the role of pathology in reaching accurate diagnoses, with experts sharing insights clinicians can apply directly in practice.
Speakers will include specialists from Antech alongside clinicians and scientists from organisations including Linneaus, VCA, the University of Liverpool, Waltham Petcare Science Institute and Alfort French National Veterinary School.
Antech Academy CPD platform coming to the UK
A dedicated English-language version of Antech Academy is set to launch in the UK, extending access to Antech’s specialist clinical education.
All 16 Antech Academy Live sessions will be recorded for the new platform, with the first learning modules expected towards the end of 2026 and further webinars planned for 2027.
Visitors will be able to register their interest at the show to receive updates as UK learning opportunities become available.
AntechVerse: a virtual reality tour of a veterinary laboratory
London Vet Show will also see the UK debut of AntechVerse, a new immersive virtual reality experience offering a behind-the-scenes look at the journey of a diagnostic sample through a reference laboratory.
The experience will bring to life the work involved in turning samples into diagnostic results, from histology processing and preparing blood smears to the importance of sample quality. It will give veterinary professionals a closer look at the laboratory processes and scientific expertise that underpin accurate, reliable diagnostic testing.
Dr Jimmy Barr, Chief Medical Officer at Mars Science & Diagnostics, said: “This year’s London Vet Show is an exciting opportunity for UK veterinary professionals to discover how Antech's scientific and technical expertise can support them on the journey to a diagnosis – and ultimately help improve health outcomes for pets.
Diagnostics is about much more than test results – it's about the expertise that turns a sample into an answer veterinary teams can act on. Antech Academy Live shares that expertise directly with clinicians, while AntechVerse opens the doors to our laboratories to show the science and people behind every diagnosis.”
Antech’s presence at London Vet Show reflects its commitment to supporting veterinary professionals to improve pet health outcomes. Its integrated offering brings together in-house diagnostics, reference laboratory services, imaging, software and continuing education, backed by specialist scientific and clinical expertise.
Antech will be exhibiting at stand M55 at London Vet Show, ExCeL London, on 19-20 November 2026.
