National Veterinary Nursing Week 2010
This year, the BVNA’s National Veterinary Nursing Week will be held between Sunday the 18th and Saturday the 24th July.

The BVNA are urging veterinary nurses across the country to get involved in the week and urging them to organise or take part in events which promote the veterinary nursing profession to the general public. Last year, National Veterinary Nursing Week included a wide variety of events across the country which ranged from sky dives to sponsored bike rides.
 
This year there will be prizes awarded for the three categories, which are:
  • Best Community Event (away from the practice/college)
  • Best Open Day Event
  • Best Waiting Room Display
 
VN Week packs are available by registering online via the BVNA website or by contacting the BVNA office on 01279 408644.  Further information and ideas on holding events is also available on the official VN Week Blog.

A new pet travel guidance factsheet for veterinary professionals and caregivers has been developed by the WSAVA in collaboration with the World Veterinary Association.

The Dog and Cat Welfare During Transport factsheet provides step-by-step guidance for all stages of a journey, from pre-travel checklists to post-travel care.

Brachycephalic breeds or animals prone to travel-related anxiety are given special focus in this guide, which also provides links to IATA container regulation and WSAVA vaccination guidelines.
