BVNA calling for poster abstracts
Interactive poster sessions to take place at Congress

The British Veterinary Nursing Association is inviting the submission of poster abstracts for the interactive posters sessions due to take place on Saturday 6th October as part of BVNA Congress.

Vet nurses can submit abstracts in two categories:
  • Clinical Development in Veterinary Nursing:
For those with an interest in small animals or equine-related veterinary practice. Emphasis should be given to evaluation and improvement of clinical practice and clinical decision making. The aims should be to celebrate innovative practice, investigate good nursing practice and introduce future developments.
  • Educational Innovations, Excellence and Research:
For those with an interest in teaching strategies, assessment and innovation in the modern veterinary nursing curriculum are invited to submit on an educational topic. Posters related to innovations, excellence and research in veterinary nursing education and interprofessional education (IPE) will be given priority.

The posters will be on display throughout the congress, with the aim of providing the opportunity to share experiences, discuss work in progress and highlight good practice and innovation in veterinary nursing clinical practice and education.

For the chance to present a poster, email the BVNA Office for an application form by the 30 June 2012, for consideration by the BVNA Scientific Congress Committee.

BVA urges 'continued vigilance' over bluetongue

The British Veterinary Association (BVA) has urged vigilance following a concerning rise in Bluetongue (BTV) cases in sheep and cattle.

In a recent statement, the BVA noted that members are reporting more severe clinical signs and higher mortality rates than in previous years.

'We know that farm vets are working hard to support farmers and animals affected by this outbreak, during what is an extremely difficult time for all involved,' they stated. 'Continued vigilance to identify disease early is vital and vaccination remains the best way of protecting animals from this disease.'
