BVNA asks for congress feedback
Online delegate survey for BVNA congress-goers

The British Veterinary Nursing Association (BVNA) are asking delegates of its recent congress to complete an online survey about the event.

The 39th annual BVNA Congress took place at Telford International Centre, Shropshire, from 5-7 October 2012.

Over 1000 delegates attended the event, which is the UK's best known sole veterinary nursing congress.

Streams of lectures were offered to practice staff and veterinary nurses of all levels throughout the three days, across a variety of topics. Interactive workshops, social events and a large exhibition boasting numerous stands were also available.

The BVNA are asking those who attended to help further improve next years' event by giving feedback in an online survey - in return you will be entered into a prize draw to receive one day's free registration to next year's congress.
