Applications open for BVNA Council seats
The closing date for applications is Saturday, 31 May 2025.
The British Veterinary Nursing Association (BVNA) has invited registered veterinary nurses (RVNs) and student veterinary nurses (SVNs) to apply for seats on its Council.
Those interested will have until Saturday, 31 May 2025 to submit their application to sit a staggered three-year term on the BVNA Council.
BVNA Council describes its election as a ‘fantastic opportunity’ for RVNs and SVNs to inform the future of the veterinary nursing profession and push for change. It says that its councillors share the desire to represent and champion veterinary nurses.
It is also key to informing BVNA’s strategic direction and representing the association at veterinary events.
The Council meets bi-monthly, with two meetings held at BVNA Head Office in Harlow and one meeting at BVNA Congress. The remaining meetings are hosted online.
Veterinary nurses from a variety of backgrounds and career paths are invited to apply, including those from clinical practice, industry, education, research and charity.
BVNA says that all applicants should be able to demonstrate a strong commitment to promoting the veterinary nursing profession as well as BVNA’s values. They should be willing to devote time and effort to representing their fellow members.
Lyndsay Hughes, BVNA president, said: “BVNA continues to adapt to meet what our profession needs from a strong representative body, and our activities rely on having a strong Council team to guide the association.
“We look forward to receiving applications from those who are ready to represent our incredible profession, as BVNA continues to shape the future of veterinary nursing.”
BVNA members should visit the membership portal to find more details on how to apply. Any questions about the application process or the role of a Council member should be sent to bvna@bvna.co.uk
