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!

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.
