BVNA Congress Underway!
CQ Chocolate Fountain.
The 38th annual BVNA Congress continues today with hundreds of delegates streaming in.

Kettering has become the centre of the veterinary nursing world today, as hundreds of delegates attend the 38th annual congress of the BVNA.

Featuring a great range of lectures and an extensive exhibition of companies from all over the UK, this year's congress is offering a thorough CPD programme over three days for every veterinary nurse, from student to specialised nurses such as equine nurses to nurse educators.

The exhibition hall has over a hundred exhibitors, ranging from the BVNA's charity of the year, The Cinnamon Trust, to pets suppliers such as James Wellbeloved to services such as Central Veterinary Services.

Of particular popularity so far has been the Central Qualifications stand which has caused a riot during breaks when delegates have swarmed the chocolate fountain.

"It has been overwhelming!" said Jacqui Garrett, Director of CQ.

Today will see lectures, workshops and exhibition continuing, crowned by a 'Musical-Mania' ball in the evening.

BVNA Congress runs until Sunday 9th October at Kettering Conference Centre in Northamptonshire.

Milk recalled over presence of veterinary medicines

Graham's Family Dairy has issued a recall for its semi-skimmed milk due to the presence of veterinary medicines in the product.

In a risk statement, the Food Standards Agency said the presence of the medicines, including penicillin, make the milk unsafe to consume and 'may be a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to antibiotics'.

Customers who bought the product are advised to return it to the store of purchase for a full refund.
