BVNA calls for nominees for 2012 Council Elections
Nominations to close on 30th April 2012

The British Veterinary Nursing Association (BVNA) has published a reminder for all members eligible to do so that they are invited to stand for election to the BVNA Council. Any BVNA member falling under the category ‘Qualified VN/RVN/EVN' can nominate themselves or be nominated in turn.

Commenting on the nomination process, President of the BVNA Claire Fraser said "The BVNA Council is committed to driving the Association forward but this can only be done with representatives who are fully committed to representing the BVNA and its members. Your background is less important than your ability to offer a real commitment to the Association and your fellow members. There is certainly a significant time commitment, but it is a very rewarding and enjoyable experience and it is seen as a way of giving something back to a profession that we are all passionate about. It is also an opportunity to meet other veterinary nurses from a wide range of backgrounds, to share thoughts and ideas on both a political front and from a clinical perspective. I would urge anyone with an interest in the future of our profession and our Association to stand as a BVNA Council Member."

BSAVA publishes Guide to Nutrition in Small Animal Practice

The BSAVA has added a small animal nutrition advice booklet to its series of BSAVA guides.

The BSAVA Guide to Nutrition in Small Animal Practice offers a resource for veterinary professionals to provide appropriate nutrition for animals. As well as maintaining the wellbeing of healthy pets, the guide explores how nutritional requirements change in times of illness and disease.

The guide is divided into five sections, which explore the importance of nutritional assessment; diet types; feeding at different life stages; feeding for specific situations; and feeding for specific diseases. Online resources are also in the BSAVA Library including client handouts and videos.

It is designed to be suitable for referencing, in-depth case planning and team training sessions.

The BSAVA Guide to Nutrition in Small Animal Practice can be purchased online from the BSAVA store.
