Louisa Baker is the new BVNA President
Took up her new role at BVNA Congress

Louisa Baker has become the new President of the British Veterinary Nursing Association (BVNA). She was inaugurated at the Presidential Handover Ceremony at BVNA Congress on Sunday 7th October 2012.

In her first speech as BVNA President, Louisa described it as a "surreal experience" to be taking on the role, after only four years since joining BVNA council in 2008 with the "sole aim to support the association in any way I could."

During her time on BVNA Council, she has been involved with the Education Committee, Veterinary Nursing Week and has been Honorary Treasurer. She was also instrumental in the launch and development of the BVNA Revision Apps, and cites her main area of interest as the education of veterinary nurses.

Describing herself as both humble and proud to stand where she is today, Louisa promised to continue the good work of all the previous presidents who have collectively made the BVNA what it is today, with her particular aim being to progress further with statutory regulation for veterinary nurses.

Best wishes go to Louisa in her new role.

Milk recalled over presence of veterinary medicines

Graham's Family Dairy has issued a recall for its semi-skimmed milk due to the presence of veterinary medicines in the product.

In a risk statement, the Food Standards Agency said the presence of the medicines, including penicillin, make the milk unsafe to consume and 'may be a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to antibiotics'.

Customers who bought the product are advised to return it to the store of purchase for a full refund.
