Another Successful BVNA Congress
The BVNA has said that it was delighted to see so many delegates attend its 37th Annual Congress at Kettering Conference Centre in Northamptonshire during the weekend of 8th-10th October.

The UK's best known veterinary nursing congress presented an array of renowned speakers and offered delegates unlimited high quality CPD during the three day event.
 
Association Manager Angela Mariconda said “BVNA works very hard to offer great CPD to its delegates as part of its annual congress.  We recognise the increasing importance and to that end BVNA aim to provide a congress that enables veterinary nurses of all levels to build on their knowledge & skills within the profession.  I am delighted to say that the feedback received from delegates this year has once again been extremely positive.”

The congress social programme was also a complete sell out. The quiz night on the Friday was a great success and all monies raised were donated to the BVNA Charity of the Year ‘Animals Asia’. On the Saturday evening delegates also enjoyed probably their first Christmas party of the year!  Fancy dress was once again very popular with an array of elves, fairies, and Santas plus a few Grinchs to name but a few!

Practices urged to audit neutering data

News Story 1
 RCVS Knowledge has called on vet practices to audit their post-operative neutering outcomes.

It follows the release of the 2024 NASAN benchmarking report, which collates data from neutering procedures performed on dogs, cats and rabbits.

The benchmarking report enables practices in the UK and Ireland to compare their post-operative outcomes to the national average. This includes the rate of patients lost to follow-up, which in 2024 increased to 23 per cent.

Anyone from the practice can submit the data using a free template. The deadline for next report is February 2026.

Visit the RCVS Knowledge website to complete an audit.

New guidance for antibiotic use in rabbits

New best practice guidance on the responsible use of antibiotics in rabbits has been published by the BSAVA in collaboration with the Rabbit Welfare Association & Fund (RWA&F).

The guidance is free and has been produced to help veterinary practitioners select the most appropriate antibiotic for rabbits. It covers active substance, dose and route of administration all of which are crucial factors when treating rabbits owing to the risk of enterotoxaemia.

For more information and to access the guide, visit the BSAVALibrary.
