Held during BVNA Congress, VNJ Live will provide an opportunity for SVNs and RVNs to showcase their projects in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, with mentorship available.

This event will include a panel discussion on developing projects in practice such as clinical audits or research, selecting cases for publication or how to develop your dissertation into an abstract and poster. There will be opportunities to ask questions and put your ideas forward. This friendly and constructive platform for veterinary nurses and students with little experience of public speaking is a fantastic opportunity to develop presenting skills, whilst discussing and sharing best nursing practice, and increasing the evidence base available to the profession.

Submission Categories

We are now inviting submissions in the following different categories:

• Student veterinary nurse case reflection

Whether you are in the process of completing a dissertation/research project, or have worked with an interesting case in practice – we’d like to hear from you!

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Charlotte Bullard (Learning, Development & Communications Manager) at charlotte@bvna.co.uk.
