BVNA publishes full 2024 Congress programme
The theme of this year's congress is 'progression'.
The three-day event begins on 11 October.

The British Veterinary Nursing Association (BVNA) has announced the full line-up for its 2024 Congress at Telford International Centre.

The congress, which runs from Friday, 11 October until Sunday, 13 October, will include over 120 hours of CPD, with over 20 streams for veterinary nurses.

The streams are designed to highlight the important role of veterinary nurses in practice, and provide them with a range of learning opportunities. Among BVNA’s programme is training on One Health medicine, emergency care and nutrition.

New to 2024, the association has introduced a new stream focussing on referral nursing. This will address a variety of nursing topics, including oncology, neurology and diagnostic procedures, applying them to a referrals setting.

Veterinary learning will also be supported with a range of practical workshops, which must be booked when registering. The workshops will address topics such as wound management, haemotology and biochemistry, and tools for neurodiversity in the workplace.

Attendees can also visit the practical zone of the Exhibition Hall for free, hands-on training with no booking required.

Alongside the variety of training opportunities, this year’s BVNA Congress will be promoting the important roles of GP veterinary nurses and veterinary care assistants (VCAs) in the practice.

BVNA will be championing the wide range of skills needed by those in first opinion practice, with dedicated content. This will include sessions on ultrasound, transfusion medicine and spinal disease.

VCAs will be celebrated with specific training on how anatomy and physiology links to patient monitoring and the fundamentals for first aid and medical care. VCAs are also welcome at any other sessions.

The overall theme of the congress is ‘Progression’, with each morning addressing a different area: the sustainability of the veterinary nursing career, leadership, and finance and business.

Marie Rippingale, chair of the BEVA Equine Nurses Committee and a champion of the equine VN role, will also present a keynote speech on the Saturday, exploring the future of veterinary nursing.
