All smiles at the end of VN Week!
As we approach the end of another successful National Veterinary Nursing Week, nurses all round the country have been promoting their profession by getting involved with their communities.
The BVNA predicted this year's event would be the biggest ever, as nurses had lots to celebrate and promote with their recent 50th anniversary. They proved right in their predictions with nurses and veterinary practices up and down the country organising a wide range of events.
Many practices got themselves outside by organising free pet health checks in their local parks. For example, Hunters Bar Veterinary Clinic in Sheffield, set up mini nurse clinic stands in the middle of picturesque Endliffe park.
Others got quirky and decided to make their event a fun party for all. For example, the New Era Vets in Jersey, have organised a Mad Hatters Tea Party...
For the final day of the week they plan to have music, barbecues and a mad hat competition for children!
No matter how you have set out your veterinary nursing day, it is sure to educate the public on the veterinary nurse's role and thus, truly promote the nursing profession within the industry.
Roll on next year!
