BVNA Congress - one week away!
Congress opens its doors in a week

The Congress of the British Veterinary Nursing Association (BVNA) is only a week away. Taking place in a new location, the bigger and brighter Telford International Centre (TIC), BVNA Congress promises to be the best yet.

This year, hundreds of delegates will be taking part in three days' worth of quality CPD, an extensive commercial exhibition and another brilliant social programme.

There will be a five-tiered lecture stream programme and, for the first time, a dedicated equine CPD pre-Congress day taking place on Thursday 4th October. There will also be a charity racing night, in aid of BVNA's chosen charity of the year, the Retired Greyhound's Trust.

Furthermore, all SQP lectures have now been fully approved by AMTRA which means delegates who bring along their SQP number and sign into each lecture can claim their CPD points from AMTRA.

Lords Committee opens Pet Parasite Medication inquiry

The House of Lords Environment and Climate Change Committee will launch its inquiry into Pet Parasite Medication (PPM) on Wednesday (3 June).

Focusing on treatments containing fipronil and imidacloprid, the inquiry will seek to understand distribution pathways and the impacts of PPM use and non-use on biodiversity and human health. It will also cover current regulation, monitoring, and the potential implications for pets and their owners.

The committee will hear evidence from environmental non-governmental organisations and research institutes. The public can follow the proceedings live on Parliament TV or in person in the Palace of Westminster.
