Promoting the work of veterinary nurses

Veterinary nurses are being asked to get involved with promoting their vital role.
National Veterinary Nursing Awareness Month set to take place in May

Veterinary nurses are being urged to get involved with promoting their profession for National Veterinary Nursing Awareness Month this May.

It is a chance to promote the importance of veterinary nursing and educate the general public about the different roles of nursing staff in practice.

Practices can hold a range of events to promote their nurses, such as open days. This allows clients to find out which roles are carried out by each member of the practice team.

The BVNA is running a competition this year with prizes for winners and runners-up in three categories:

Category A - Best Display
Showing the role of the veterinary nurse

Category B - Best Community Event
Promoting the role of a veterinary nurse to the general public (must be held away from the practice)

Category C - Best Careers Event
Promoting a career in veterinary nursing

Veterinary nurses can register online for a free pack via the BVNA website.
