BVNA past-president teaches future veterinary nurses

Central College of Animal Studies has announced the appointment of Donna Lewis as veterinary nursing qualifications lecturer.

The college's centre, which is based in Kent, describes Donna as a great asset to students.

Donna has worked in the veterinary industry for more than 30 years and was appointed president of the British Veterinary Nursing Association (BVNA) in 2009.

Prior to this, she has been elected to the BVNA Council, held the post of regional co-ordinator team leader for the association and lectured in another college's veterinary nursing department.

In 2010, Donna took on the role of BVNA regional coordinator for Kent, organising good-quality and affordable continuing professional development courses for veterinary nurses in the area.

She said: "I am thrilled to be joining the team at Central College of Animal Studies. I am thoroughly looking forward to meeting my new students very soon and to supporting them in realising their ambitions of becoming a veterinary nurse."

Donna's particular areas of interest are pet insurance, feline behaviour and geriatrics.
