New online learning resource for vet nurses
BVNA members can watch most of the On Demand content for free in the BVNA members' portal.
BVNA launches Vimeo on Demand Channel. 

The BVNA has launched a new online learning resource for veterinary nurses.

Vimeo On Demand, available through BVNA's website, broadcasts new CPD videos as well as interviews and lectures. The channel also contains a CPD resource library, recordings from BVNA's This Is Us event, and will be updated with monthly CPD online events.

Jo Oakden, BVNA president said: “We're really excited about the launch of our CPD Video On Demand channel. This is a really great way to watch the CPD that is relevant to you without CPD subscriptions.

“COVID has encouraged us to look at ways we can diversify to share our professional content with our members and non-members: we have all had to become flexible in the way we work, and our busy schedules often mean we cannot always commit to a specific time for a CPD session.”

BVNA Members can watch most of the On Demand content for free in the BVNA members' portal, including all BVNA COVID videos. The professional content is available to all at a charge of £8 per view, however, users pay a reduced price of £5 to participate in the live recording of the CPD sessions.

Jo added: “There are loads of reasons to become a BVNA member, we are working tirelessly in the background to make sure we represent your voices, help develop our profession and provide you with the education and support you need to excel in your area of our profession.”

Vets to run marathon for World Animal Protection

News Story 1
 Two recently graduated veterinary surgeons will be running the London Marathon in April to raise money for the charity World Animal Protection.

Alex Bartlett and Maeve O'Neill plan to run the race together if they are given the same start times.

Dr O'Neill said: "You're always limited in what you can do to help animals, so it is nice to raise money for a charity that helps animals around the world."

Dr Bartlett added: "I have never run a marathon before and am excited to run my first one for such a good cause!"

Both Dr Bartlett and Dr O'Neill have fundraising pages online.

BSAVA releases new Guide to Procedures

The British Small Animal Veterinary Association (BSAVA) has published a new edition of its Guide to Procedures for Small Animal Practice.

It has added four new procedures; cystostomy tube placement, endotracheal intubation, point-of-care ultrasound and wet-to-dry dressings.

BSAVA says that it is an essential step-by-step guide to diagnostic and therapeutic procedures performed in practice. The textbook includes new images and illustrations, as well as high-definition videos for use prior to procedures.

Nick Bexfield and Julia Riggs, editors of the new edition, said: "We have built upon the success of the previous editions by responding to the feedback received from the BSAVA readership, and hope this new guide helps to further increase the confidence and accuracy with which these procedures are performed."

Print copies are available in the BSAVA store, with a digital version in the BSAVA library.
