National Veterinary Nursing Week 2010
This year, the BVNA’s National Veterinary Nursing Week will be held between Sunday the 18th and Saturday the 24th July.

The BVNA are urging veterinary nurses across the country to get involved in the week and urging them to organise or take part in events which promote the veterinary nursing profession to the general public. Last year, National Veterinary Nursing Week included a wide variety of events across the country which ranged from sky dives to sponsored bike rides.
 
This year there will be prizes awarded for the three categories, which are:
  • Best Community Event (away from the practice/college)
  • Best Open Day Event
  • Best Waiting Room Display
 
VN Week packs are available by registering online via the BVNA website or by contacting the BVNA office on 01279 408644.  Further information and ideas on holding events is also available on the official VN Week Blog.

BSAVA publishes Guide to Nutrition in Small Animal Practice

The BSAVA has added a small animal nutrition advice booklet to its series of BSAVA guides.

The BSAVA Guide to Nutrition in Small Animal Practice offers a resource for veterinary professionals to provide appropriate nutrition for animals. As well as maintaining the wellbeing of healthy pets, the guide explores how nutritional requirements change in times of illness and disease.

The guide is divided into five sections, which explore the importance of nutritional assessment; diet types; feeding at different life stages; feeding for specific situations; and feeding for specific diseases. Online resources are also in the BSAVA Library including client handouts and videos.

It is designed to be suitable for referencing, in-depth case planning and team training sessions.

The BSAVA Guide to Nutrition in Small Animal Practice can be purchased online from the BSAVA store.
