VNonline to exhibit at BVNA Congress
Online resource to celebrate first birthday at Telford event

The team behind VNonline, a website dedicated to providing the latest veterinary nursing news, careers and events, will be exhibiting at the BVNA Congress this month, offering gifts and prizes at the stand, as well as live reporting on the event.

After launching at last year's congress, the team are pleased to be heading back for this significant year - the 40th BVNA Congress - having built upon their community of veterinary nurses over the past 12 months.

VNonline provides the latest industry updates and breaking news, such as research on laminitis and seasonal canine illness, the new RCVS Code of Conduct app for nurses and new treatments for conditions such as allergic skin disease.

During the three-day event, the team will be speaking to veterinary nurses from stand no. P5, to find out what which topics in the veterinary nursing world are of the most interest to them.

All those that sign up to the website during the event will receive a VNonline branded lip balm and slip lead, as well as free entry into a prize draw. There will be two opportunities to win a £50 Love2shop voucher on the Friday and Saturday.

Reporters will also be roaming around wearing VNonline branded t-shirts during the event to find out about all the latest developments, launches and other goings-on at the congress.

Head to stand no. P5 during the event and register with VNonline to receive your free gifts as well as a chance to win prizes. In the meantime, you can contact the team by email to let them know which topics you would like to see included on the website.

RCVS annual renewal fee for vets due

RCVS' annual renewal fee for veterinary surgeons is now due. Vets must pay their renewal fee before Wednesday, 1 April 2026.

This year's standard annual fee has increased to 431 from last year's 418. This is an approximately three per cent increase, as approved by RCVS Council and the Privy Council.

Tshidi Gardner, RCVS treasurer, said: "The small fee increase will be used to help deliver both our everyday activities and our new ambitious Strategic Plan, which includes aims such as achieving new legislation, reviewing the Codes of Professional Conduct and supporting guidance, and continuing to support the professions through activities such as the Mind Matters Initiative, RCVS Academy and career development."

A full breakdown of the new fees is on the RCVS website. Information about tax relief is available on the UK government website.
