The British Equine Veterinary Association (BEVA) has announced the introduction of a Nurse Committee to guide BEVA on issues important to veterinary nurses.
Chaired by Marie Rippingale REVN, the committee is made up of nine members, who will ensure that BEVA considers all equine veterinary issues from a nursing perspective.
Nurse Committee will be highlighted as a new initiative at BEVA Congress, which takes place from 7 – 10 September 2022 at the ACC in Liverpool.
At Congress, members of the Nurse Committee will be in the BEVA Members Lounge on the Friday. This time will be used to talk to equine veterinary nurses in attendance to discover more about the issues affecting them, and their thoughts on topics, in order to prioritise the committee's key focuses.
Marie Rippingale, Chair of the Equine Nurse Committee, said: “I am delighted that BEVA has put together an Equine Nurses Committee and given equine nurses a voice.
“This is a fantastic opportunity for us to identify and address current issues, as well as to establish a clear path to push this profession forwards.
“As a committee we are excited to get out and speak to other equine nurses and use the feedback to inform our focus and direction.”
Veterinary practices are being urged to help owners safely dispose of any unused and expired pet medicines - not just antibiotics - during November's Animal Medicines Amnesty.
