Webinar: “Librela clinical update: 4 years of clinical experience”
Tuesday 19 August (7 to 8pm), with Jayne Clark, Zoetis national veterinary manager, pain
Face-to-face event: “OA pain, awareness and management: how veterinary teams can collaborate to effectively manage OA” and “Librela clinical update: 4 years of clinical experience” plus practical application workshops.
Saturday 6 September (10am to 1pm) at BVNA HQ Harlow, Essex, with George Matthews, Zoetis veterinary consultant.
BVNA Congress: “The joint approach: the importance of the nursing team in OA diagnosis and management”
Sunday 12 October (9 to 10am) at BVNA Congress as part of the first opinion nursing stream with Zoe Mitchell, Zoetis veterinary consultant.
“We are excited to offer this sequential series of educational opportunities especially for vet nurses, as part of our partnership with the BVNA,” said Jayne Clark, national veterinary manager, pain. “We are aiming for the talks to enhance delegates’ confidence in navigating aspects of pain management in dogs and cats so that they can support pet and owners with the latest knowledge, in a highly informed, confident and objective way.”
“BVNA is delighted that, through our partnership with Zoetis, we can deliver these valuable learning opportunities to our members and the wider veterinary nursing community,” commented Charlotte Bullard, BVNA learning, development and communications manager. “Working alongside the veterinary surgeon, RVNs are often at the forefront of pain management conversations with pet caregivers, and so it is imperative they are equipped with the confidence to navigate these discussions with ease. We’d also encourage delegates attending these events to be part of the conversation – submitting any questions so that we can shape the sessions to fully reflect RVNs’ needs.”
The events within this series taking place on 19 August and 6 September are free to BVNA members. Non-members are welcome to join each event at a cost of £15.00 per ticket.
The session at BVNA Congress will be open to all delegates who have registered to attend the event on Sunday 12 October.
