BVNA attends Crufts for first time

Association gives career advice to future vet nurses

For the first time ever, the British Veterinary Nursing Association (BVNA) attended Crufts, in order promote the work they do for dogs and other animals.

Every year, Crufts is host to numerous organisations and charities hoping to promote their work and encourage interest. This year, the BVNA was one of them.

The association's main objective for attending the recent Crufts event was
to give pet care advice, to promote the work of the vet nurse and to offer vet nursing career guidance.

BVNA also spoke to attendees about National Veterinary Nursing Awarness Month, which will take place in May.

According to the association, the stand proved very popular throughout the four-day event – with young "budding" vet nurses of the future, as well as adults seeking a career change, asking for further information.

The stand also saw visitors from oversees, as well as both student vet nurses and qualified vet nurses come over to say "hello". These vet nurses were able to speak one-to-one with the representatives of their profession, and discuss the benefits of membership.

Most of the stand's visitors, however, were those seeking career advice. The BVNA said it was able
to explain the qualification avenues they may take, while bringing the work that vet nurses carry out to the forefront.

During the event, BVNA council member, Lucy Hayne, was asked to participate in the launch of the Hounds for Heroes charity campaign, Fit in Kit – see her photographed with the team, above.
