BVNA Revision App Ready for Download
A Radiology Revision App for vet nurses has been designed ready for BVNA Congress.

The British Veterinary Nursing Association has joined forces with leading IT provider, AT Veterinary Systems, to produce a handy radiology revision app for veterinary nurses, in time for the BVNA Congress this weekend.

Split into two sections, the app comprises Quick Revision and Full Revision modes. The Quick Revision is a spot test of twenty multiple choice questions with every score recorded on a scoreboard, allowing you to compete with yourself to get better and better. Full Revision mode is a quiz of sixty questions, ensuring you learn all you need to know about the use of radiology in the veterinary practice.

All 125 questions are randomly generated to reinforce every aspect of the subject, and the layout makes it quick and easy to use.

Perfect for a veterinary nurse in training, perhaps with approaching exams, or  simply wanting to test and refresh their knowledge, the BVNA Radiology Revision App costs £2.99 and is available now from the App Store.

For more information and to download the app, click here.

BVNA Congress is the largest sole veterinary nursing congress in the UK. It takes place on the 7th to the 9th October at Kettering Conference Centre in Northamptonshire. For more information, click here.

BBC Radio 4 documentary addresses corporate fees

BBC Radio 4's File on 4 Investigates has released a documentary exploring how corporate-owned veterinary practices may be inflating bills to increase profit.

Released on 15 April, 'What's Happening To Your Vet Bills?' revealed the policies which many corporate groups have in place to increase their profits. This included targets and upgrades which veterinary teams are tasked with meeting on a regular basis.

It also features Anrich Vets, an independently-owned practice based in Wigan. Following the case of Staffordshire terrier Benjy, who is diagnosed with a tumour, the documentary shares how the team were able to offer contextualised care and advice to make the procedure as affordable as possible for his owners.

The documentary can be heard on demand on BBC iPlayer.
