Students and qualified nurses have been invited to come along to the stand to discuss the various veterinary nursing qualifications and CPD programmes offered by the College.

These include pre-veterinary courses for nursing assistants and animal nurses, the Diploma in Veterinary Nursing and other training opportunities for the whole practice team.

Erica Dorling, centres co-ordinator at Central College, commented: "We are really excited to be exhibiting for the first time at BVNA's 40th annual congress.

"The team and I will be on-hand to advise all delegates about the various personal development and training opportunities available to them and their team from Central College."

During the event, Central College will also be welcoming delegates to take part in fun and entertaining games to test your nursing knowledge! Pens and notepads will also be given away to use during lectures at the congress, as well as for study and in practice.

Germany livestock import ban lifted

The UK government has amended its ban on the import of livestock, meat and dairy products from Germany.

Defra said the decision follows 'rigorous technical assessment' of the measures applied and the current situation. "If the situation changes, we will not hesitate to take necessary action in response to the FMD outbreaks in the European Union to protect our domestic biosecurity," it said.

The ban was implemented in January following an outbreak of foot and mouth disease (FMD) near Berlin. Personal imports of meat, milk and dairy products will remain in place at a country level.
