National VN Week 2010 Winners

The British Veterinary Nursing Association has announced the ‘National VN Week 2010’ winners.


The winners are:

Best Waiting Room Display – PDSA, Northam, Southampton
Tracey Russell’s practice organised a huge waiting room display which promoted the role of the qualified nurse in great detail. They also used the Panorama programme to reassure clients and discussed the level of nursing care that was provided for patients in their practice.
 

Best Open Day Event – Avenue Veterinary Centre, Staple Hill, Bristol
The Avenue Veterinary Centre held a very successful open day which was extremely well attended.  They provided demonstrations and displays in all areas of the practice.  Feedback was very positive and those attending said they had really enjoyed themselves and learned a lot about the workings of a busy vet practice.
 
Best Community Event – Abbey Veterinary Centre, Durham & Chester-Le-Street
The practice team enthusiastically promoted VN Week with a number of events being carried out throughout the whole week.  They held a ‘Pet Health Checks’ event, ran a charity event at the Metro Centre in Gateshead and participated in the Chester-Le-Street outdoor market and also organised press releases in the local papers.

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.
