Acknowledge your nurses' dedication by nominating today! 

The BVNA Northern Ireland Veterinary Nursing Awards are inviting nominations for the 2014 round.

The BVNA, in association with Hill's Pet Nutrition, are inviting the profession to  help recognise a deserving individual by nominating him or her to receive an award, which will be given during the 2014 BVNA Northern Ireland Congress.

As well as nominating a veterinary nursing colleague from your practice, you can also encourage your clients to take part.

There are four nursing categories for the awards:

·         Veterinary Nurse of the Year
·         Student Veterinary Nurse of the Year
·         Animal Nursing Assistant of the Year
·         Charity Nurse of the Year  
 
So if you are harbouring a nursing star in your practice, why not acknowledge their talents by nominating them for one of the above awards – and make their day!

A shortlist of nominees will be drawn up and the winner of each category will be announced during the gala banquet on May 23, 2014.

Nomination forms and a promotional poster for your practice are available from the BVNA website at www.bvna.org.uk or by sending a request by email to bvna@bvna.co.uk

BVA urges 'continued vigilance' over bluetongue

The British Veterinary Association (BVA) has urged vigilance following a concerning rise in Bluetongue (BTV) cases in sheep and cattle.

In a recent statement, the BVA noted that members are reporting more severe clinical signs and higher mortality rates than in previous years.

'We know that farm vets are working hard to support farmers and animals affected by this outbreak, during what is an extremely difficult time for all involved,' they stated. 'Continued vigilance to identify disease early is vital and vaccination remains the best way of protecting animals from this disease.'
