Louisa Baker is the new BVNA President
Took up her new role at BVNA Congress

Louisa Baker has become the new President of the British Veterinary Nursing Association (BVNA). She was inaugurated at the Presidential Handover Ceremony at BVNA Congress on Sunday 7th October 2012.

In her first speech as BVNA President, Louisa described it as a "surreal experience" to be taking on the role, after only four years since joining BVNA council in 2008 with the "sole aim to support the association in any way I could."

During her time on BVNA Council, she has been involved with the Education Committee, Veterinary Nursing Week and has been Honorary Treasurer. She was also instrumental in the launch and development of the BVNA Revision Apps, and cites her main area of interest as the education of veterinary nurses.

Describing herself as both humble and proud to stand where she is today, Louisa promised to continue the good work of all the previous presidents who have collectively made the BVNA what it is today, with her particular aim being to progress further with statutory regulation for veterinary nurses.

Best wishes go to Louisa in her new role.

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.
