Vote now for BVNA Council members
Louisa Baker, BVNA president

Veterinary nurses have their say with elections

Voting is now open for members of the British Veterinary Nursing Association (BVNA) to elect two representatives for their profession.

With five candidates up for nomination to sit on the BVNA Council, but only two places available, every vote counts.

The candidates are Harry Bailey, Susan Howarth, Matthew Rendle, Jennifer Savage and Megan Whitehead.

All five candidates are registered veterinary nurses (RVN) – click here to read their manifestos.

BVNA President Louisa Baker said: "I am delighted with the number of nominations received from members, as the BVNA represents the veterinary nursing profession and it is important that members have a say on who is representing them."

Voting forms were circulated in the June issue of Veterinary Nursing Journal (VNJ), which can be returned to the BVNA by post, fax or email.

Voting closes on June 30 and results will be announced in September's VNJ.

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.
