BVNA celebrates 40th congress

Anniversary year for veterinary nursing event

This year is the 40th annual congress of the British Veterinary Nursing Association (BVNA).

Running from Friday, October 11 through to Sunday, October 13, the three-day event is aimed at all levels of veterinary nursing staff with a tiered lecture stream and scientific programme.

Students, equine nurses, veterinary managers and administrators, qualified VNs, clinical coaches and educators alike will benefit from the congress's 80 plus lectures and practical interactive workshops.

The exhibition hall will enable delegates the chance to speak to veterinary companies and find out about the latest innovative products and services.

In addition, the congress social programme includes a Casino Royale fundraising evening in aid of the BVNA's charity of the year, The Horse Trust, as well as a 007 party night.

The ever-growing CPD and networking event is the only veterinary nursing congress throughout Europe, and this year it will be a celebration of 40 successful years.

BSAVA publishes Guide to Nutrition in Small Animal Practice

The BSAVA has added a small animal nutrition advice booklet to its series of BSAVA guides.

The BSAVA Guide to Nutrition in Small Animal Practice offers a resource for veterinary professionals to provide appropriate nutrition for animals. As well as maintaining the wellbeing of healthy pets, the guide explores how nutritional requirements change in times of illness and disease.

The guide is divided into five sections, which explore the importance of nutritional assessment; diet types; feeding at different life stages; feeding for specific situations; and feeding for specific diseases. Online resources are also in the BSAVA Library including client handouts and videos.

It is designed to be suitable for referencing, in-depth case planning and team training sessions.

The BSAVA Guide to Nutrition in Small Animal Practice can be purchased online from the BSAVA store.
