Celebrating the work of veterinary nurses
vn
Up and down the UK, veterinary practices and colleges are promoting and celebrating the role of veterinary nurses.
Veterinary Nursing Awareness Month 2016 begins
 
Up and down the UK, veterinary practices and colleges are promoting and celebrating the role of veterinary nurses as part of the annual Veterinary Nursing Awareness Month (VNAM).

Events being held over the course of the month range from sponsored sky dives and walks to pet health checks in the park and practice open days.

VNAM has grown substantially since 2005 when it started as National VN Day, progressing to National VN Week and finally the month-long campaign it is today. It provides practices with an opportunity to raise awareness of the excellent work done by their veterinary nurses and the vital role they play in practice.

The 2016 VNAM competition includes three categories: A) best display, B)best event and C) best pet selfie.

To get involved, you can register for a free VNAM pack which includes a poster and other promotional items to help practices and colleges to make a display: http://www.bvna.org.uk/about-us/veterinary-nursing-awareness-month-registration-form
