New BVNA President
New BVNA President, Sue Badger
The inaugration happened during the Annual General Meeting (AGM) held on Sunday 9th October at the BVNA Congress in Kettering, Northamptonshire.
Delighted at being elected as President, Sue said: “It’s a great honour to be elected to the role of President at a time of significant change for the veterinary nursing profession. The introduction of the non-statutory register has already paved the way to a future which has been embraced by the majority of qualified veterinary nurses who see regulation and professional accountability as the obvious goal. It is a tremendous prospect and one that must be embraced if veterinary nursing is to progress to the next level of professionalism.”
During the AGM Claire Fraser, a past President of the BVNA was elected as Vice President. Claire is delighted and honoured to be elected as Vice President once again and said: "It will be rewarding for me to support our current President and the rest of the Council and office team, in striving for continued excellence within the veterinary nursing profession. Not only are we still working towards a statutory register, but the training of veterinary nurses has undergone great change recently, and so it is important to maintain the high standard of training expected for British Veterinary Nurses. And representing our members to the best of our abilities remains our main priority.”
The BSAVA has opened submissions for the BSAVA Clinical Research Abstracts 2026.
