Nurses asked to help promote the profession

"Veterinary Nursing Awareness Month will give RVNs the opportunity to demonstrate to their clients exactly what it is they do for their pets".
The work of RVNs will be celebrated in the UK this May

Veterinary nurses are being asked to help promote the profession by getting involved in the BVNA's annual Veterinary Nursing Awareness Month in May.

Each year from May 1 to 31, practices and colleges celebrate the role of the veterinary nurse to raise awareness among members of the public, whilst taking the opportunity to promote responsible pet care.

RVN Sarah Wyatt, who is a BVNA Council member and part of the committee organising the awareness month, said: "Veterinary Nursing Awareness Month will give RVNs the opportunity to demonstrate to their clients exactly what it is they do for their pets and why RVN’s are so important within practice."

BVNA is urging nurses to get creative this year and promote their role in practice with eye catching displays, open days and uploading photos and posts on their practice's social media pages.

Practices can also take part in this year's competition, which is divided into three categories:
  • Best display ‘Showing the role of the veterinary nurse'
  • Best community event ‘Promoting awareness of the veterinary nurse to the general public’
  • Best careers event ‘Promoting a career in veterinary nursing'

Visit the BVNA's website to register for a free promotional display pack and to enter the competition.
