17th to 23rd July: National VN Week
The event gives veterinary nurses an opportunity to reflect on their profession and raise awareness amongst the public of the vital role that they play in today's modern veterinary practice.
The British Veterinary Nursing Association (BVNA) will again be organising events up and down the country. Last year saw over 260 nurses register online to take part in the celebration.
If you want to get involved this year please visit the VN Week blog to see regular dates on the events. You may want to even organise something yourself throughout the week; previous events have included a sponsored dog walk, charity raffles, pub quizzes and even a sponsored sky-dive!
There are also three great competitions to enter with fantastic prizes including; an Apple iPad, a digital camera, High Street shopping vouchers and a Sony Touch Reader.

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.
