It really couldn’t be a more exciting time to be representing our profession. BVNA is stronger than ever, and we are so actively involved in ensuring the Veterinary Nurses voice is heard.
I have been on council since 2017, and I am currently BVNA President. It’s been an unusual time on council so far, I haven’t actually physically met our new council members – but we will be able to soon. Although that has not stopped any of our activities. I have learnt so much about the development of our profession. My skills outside of clinical practice have grown and evolved, I never would have thought 4 years ago, that I would be writing articles/blogs and public speaking; but I have found it is something I really enjoy. As well as meeting and being inspired by some fantastic Veterinary Nurses along the way.
Here are a few of the things we have been involved with, so far, this BVNA year:
- VNFutures (BVNA chairing the board)
- Legislation Working Party Consultation – a once in a career opportunity!
- Working with Vet Sustain
- The Links Group
- Working closely with BVA
- Diversity and Inclusivity Group
BVNA has really invested in the council members.
