“I am really pleased to see the list of great candidates that have put themselves forward for election this year. It takes courage and dedication to run for BVNA Council, and the lucky candidates will be shaping the direction of veterinary nursing.
“Now is when our members have the chance to vote for the people that they think will represent their voice best on BVNA Council for the next three years. I would urge everyone to read the manifestos, engage with the social media content throughout the election period, and vote.”

Two independent vets have launched a podcast to help owners strengthen their bond with pets. Dr Maggie Roberts and Dr Vanessa Howie, who have worked in both veterinary practice and major charities, are keen to use their experience to enable people to give pets a better life.
