New strategy video launched by VN Futures
The strategy video outlines a number of the activities undertaken by VN Futures.
A new animated strategy video has been launched by VN Futures. The video highlights the project's important work, and how this will be continued and developed in the future.
VN Futures is a joint initiative from the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) and British Veterinary Nursing Association (BVNA). It was first launched in 2016, and aims to ensure that veterinary nursing is a vibrant, rewarding and sustainable profession.
The strategy video outlines a number of the activities undertaken by the initiative including the launch of the VN School Ambassadors Scheme; wellbeing projects in collaboration with the Mind Matters Initiative; the provision and creation of veterinary nurse-specific resources in areas such as leadership; and the inception of the Diversity, Inclusion and Widening Participation Group.
VN Futures project lead Jill Macdonald said: “When we first launched the VN Futures project back in 2016, we wanted to help support our brilliant veterinary nurses to get the most out of their careers by bringing them together to actively engage and create positive change within their profession.”
The launch of the video coincides with Veterinary Nursing Awareness Month, and VN Futures invites veterinary nurses to watch the animated strategy. Veterinary nurses are also encouraged to share their thoughts on what they love about the profession via social media, using the hashtag #VNFutures.
Ms Macdonald continued: “We want to hear from as many nurses as possible to celebrate our amazing and continually evolving profession.
“The future of veterinary nursing is in safe hands, and we look forward to engaging more veterinary nurses in our work in the years to come.”
The strategy video lasts approximately three and a half minutes and is available to watch online.
FIVP has shared a survey, inviting those working in independent practice to share their views on the CMA's proposed remedies.
