There are increasing concerns that the current Veterinary Surgeons Act 1966 is no longer fit for purpose. The Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons [RCVS] – the regulatory body for vets and vet nurses, formed a Legislative Working Party [LWP] in 2018 to carryout a review of the Act. The BVNA and other organisations within the veterinary profession are part of the LWP.

As a result of their work, the LWP has proposed reforms outlined in a consultation document which open to the public to complete before 5pm on Friday, 23 April.

You can access the consultation document here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/LRDGYZ8.

BVNA carried out a series of webinars to help explain some of the reforms and these can be seen on our Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/BritishVeterinaryNursingAssociation/videos/?ref=page_internal

The videos have been viewed by almost 7,000 people and we’ve received great feedback.

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to veterinary nurses to make a change to the Veterinary Surgeons Act 1966 and make a difference to the future of veterinary nursing. Make your voice heard!
