Details of BVA Live nursing stream announced
One of the sessions announced is 'Recognising signs of pain in cats' with RVN Alex Taylor.
The programme of courses will focus on ‘Empowerment’.

The BVA has released details of the planned programme for the BVNA Nursing Theatre at this year’s BVA Live.

BVNA president Charlotte Pace has chosen ‘Empowerment’ as the presidential theme for 2023 and this will be reflected in the sessions, which will focus on empowering delegates and building their confidence.

Both clinical and non-clinical CPD will be provided in the full programme for veterinary nurses at all stages of their career.

‘Veterinary nurses in leadership’ with RVN Kathryn Latimer-Jones is one of the sessions announced. The session will aim to help delegates reach their potential as leaders and learn how to apply leadership when advocating for a patient.

Another of the sessions which has been announced is ‘Recognising signs of pain in cats’ with RVN Alex Taylor, senior vice-president of BVNA. Delegates will be taught how to improve pain management by recognising key behavioural indicators of pain in feline patients and using appropriate pain assessment systems.

Details have also been released about RVN Jack Pye’s session on ‘Ultrasound for veterinary nurses’. The session will aim to clarify the legislation on using ultrasound to allow delegates to feel more confident about using it.

Announcing the programme, Ms Pace said: “This year’s BVNA Nursing Theatre programme has been designed to empower our veterinary nurses, helping them to widen their specialist knowledge and in turn boost confidence in their existing skills. There will also be opportunities to explore new areas of professional practice and support effective team leadership. We hope delegates will leave the BVNA Nursing Theatre feeling inspired, supercharged and motivated to take new ideas and conversations back to their workplace.”

Malcolm Morley, BVA president, added: “Veterinary nurses are a vital part of team vet and so we are extremely pleased to see the BVNA Nursing stream return to BVA Live this year. These specialist sessions promise to be inspirational, insightful and educational and we look forward to hearing the discussions which are sure to follow.”

This year’s BVA Live will be held at the Birmingham NEC from 11-12 May 2023.
