No Election for RCVS VN Council
Unfortunately, only two nominations have been received for the RCVS Veterinary Nurses Council and as there were two places up for contest there will be no VN Council election this year.

The two places will be filled by Hilary Orpet and Suzanne May. Hilary is a Lecturer in Veterinary Nursing at the Royal Veterinary College, and will start her second four-year term on Council. Suzanne is Head of the Veterinary Nursing Approved Centre and Senior Lecturer at Harper Adams University College.
 
The pair will take up their positions formally on RCVS Day in July.
 
 “Although I am delighted that Hilary remains on Council, and look forward to welcoming Suzanne, I am disappointed that so few VNs took the opportunity to stand for election. For VN Council to remain relevant to all VNs, it is important that as many VNs as possible engage with the political process,” commented Liz Branscombe, Chairman of the VN Council.
 
Meanwhile, ten veterinary surgeons are competing to fill the six available places on RCVS Council – ballot papers will be issued to all members during the second week of March and voting will run until Friday 30 April 2010.

Milk recalled over presence of veterinary medicines

Graham's Family Dairy has issued a recall for its semi-skimmed milk due to the presence of veterinary medicines in the product.

In a risk statement, the Food Standards Agency said the presence of the medicines, including penicillin, make the milk unsafe to consume and 'may be a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to antibiotics'.

Customers who bought the product are advised to return it to the store of purchase for a full refund.
