The event gives veterinary nurses an opportunity to reflect on their profession and raise awareness amongst the public of the vital role that they play in today's modern veterinary practice. 

The British Veterinary Nursing Association (BVNA) will again be organising events up and down the country.  Last year saw over 260 nurses register online to take part in the celebration.

If you want to get involved this year please visit the VN Week blog  to see regular dates on the events.  You may want to even organise something yourself throughout the week; previous events have included a sponsored dog walk, charity raffles, pub quizzes and even a sponsored sky-dive!

There are also three great competitions to enter with fantastic prizes including; an Apple iPad, a digital camera, High Street shopping vouchers and a Sony Touch Reader.

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.
