VNs To Benefit More From BSAVA With Expanded Membership Package

With a treasure chest of dedicated resources the British Small Animal Veterinary Association invites vet nurses to benefit from an expanded membership package. One of the first BSAVA manuals was for nurses – affectionately known as Jones’s, the Textbook of Veterinary Nursing is now in its 5th edition and as popular as ever. Also, BSAVA Congress offers an essential nursing programme, and VN courses have been central to the organisation’s CPD offering. So some might say it is not before time that qualified veterinary nurses are eligible to membership of the UK’s association for companion animal professionals. VN membership was launched in 2012 – and BSAVA has worked hard in the last year to create a package that meets the needs of VNs. The aim is to help nurses who are keen to expand their clinical knowledge and achieve all their ambitions. The cost is just one third of the general membership fee, which means that a BSAVA VN Member can get their entire annual CPD in a variety of ways for just £72 a year. Along with a vital free notebook that is being launched at Congress, VN members in 2013 will also get complimentary subscription to companion magazine, and hundreds of hours of Congress lecture podcasts. An especially welcome addition to the benefit package is that you will also now be able to download all the Apps, including the Formulary (available on iPhone and Android formats) and have access to a brand new legal helpline. VNs will of course share the same discount rights as vet members – so that’s significant savings to be made on all the manuals, any additional course you want to attend, and it means VNs can get four days at Congress for as little as £103 in 2013. It also gives nurse members certain exclusive rights too – such as access to member-only content online, and the ability to upgrade a Congress registration that includes vet lectures. Whether an investment in your own career or as part of the training package from the practice – BSAVA membership is the most cost-effective way get all your CPD requirements and a whole raft of resources and benefits to support you in your professional life. Visit www.bsava.com or call 01452 726700. Nurses attending BVNA Congress can benefit from a special offer where they get 14 months for the price of twelve.
