BVNA’s annual conference will be returning to Telford this week from 11 to 13 October. 

This year, the BVNA theme set by president Lyndsay Hughes has been “progression” and much of the conference programme reflects what this looks like to nurses and what could be achieved in the future.

A discussion panel session set to talk about the future of VN regulation will take place on Saturday 12 October from 1:45pm to 2:45pm in the “in conversation” stream where delegates will be asked to consider what could regulation look like for veterinary nurses with a new Veterinary Surgeons Act.

Session speakers

• Jo Oakden RVN (chair) – chair of advisory board, BVNA
• Lyndsay Hughes RVN – president, BVNA
• Marie Rippingale RVN – chair of equine nurses committee, BEVA

• Belinda Andrews-Jones RVN – chair of VN council, RCVS
• Ben Myring – policy and public affairs manager, RCVS
