Another Successful BVNA Congress
The BVNA has said that it was delighted to see so many delegates attend its 37th Annual Congress at Kettering Conference Centre in Northamptonshire during the weekend of 8th-10th October.

The UK's best known veterinary nursing congress presented an array of renowned speakers and offered delegates unlimited high quality CPD during the three day event.
 
Association Manager Angela Mariconda said “BVNA works very hard to offer great CPD to its delegates as part of its annual congress.  We recognise the increasing importance and to that end BVNA aim to provide a congress that enables veterinary nurses of all levels to build on their knowledge & skills within the profession.  I am delighted to say that the feedback received from delegates this year has once again been extremely positive.”

The congress social programme was also a complete sell out. The quiz night on the Friday was a great success and all monies raised were donated to the BVNA Charity of the Year ‘Animals Asia’. On the Saturday evening delegates also enjoyed probably their first Christmas party of the year!  Fancy dress was once again very popular with an array of elves, fairies, and Santas plus a few Grinchs to name but a few!

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.
