BVNA seeking council election candidates

Council members should be committed to promoting the veterinary nursing profession.

Council seats available for full members and student members

Members of the BVNA are being asked to have their say on who represents their association. Nominations are now open for the council elections and this year, BVNA is also looking for student members.

In addition to the 12 council seats for full members of the BVNA, there are also two spots for student members.

Anyone hoping to stand for election to the BVNA Council should have a strong commitment to promoting the association's ideals, as well as those of the veterinary nursing profession in general. The ability to devote time and effort to council activities is also important.

To stand for a student council seat, nominees must:

Be enrolled with the RCVS and undertaking an FE or HE veterinary nursing course
Have no less than six months left in education at the time of being ratified onto council
In the case of the student being in HE, have a signature of support from their college tutor
In the case of FE vocational students, have a signature of support from their clinical coach
Be a director of the association once ratified onto council

All nominees will be contacted to confirm they are willing to stand for council. They will then need to submit a passport-sized photo and a brief manifesto, which will be published in the Veterinary Nursing Journal.

The successful candidates will be announced and ratified at the BVNA's annual general meeting in Telford on October 11, 2015.

Nominations close on April 30, 2015. To make your nomination, visit: http://www.bvna.org.uk/council-and-staff/nomination-form-for-bvna-council

Birmingham Dogs Home makes urgent appeal
Birmingham Dogs Home has issued an urgent winter appeal as it faces more challenges over the Christmas period.

The rescue centre has seen a dramatic increase in dogs coming into its care, and is currently caring for over 200 dogs. With rising costs and dropping temperatures, the charity is calling for urgent support.

It costs the charity £6,000 per day to continue its work.

Fi Harrison, head of fundraising and communications, said: "It's heart-breaking for our team to see the conditions some dogs arrive in. We really are their last chance and hope of survival."

More information about the appeal can be found here.
