Thank you Zöe for supporting our calls to reform the Veterinary Surgeons Act!

We were pleased to support BVNA (The British Veterinary Nursing Association) with Zöe's visit to AURA Veterinary's referral hospital in Guildford last week to meet with the team, see first-hand the vital role that vet nurses play within it, and discuss why vets and vet nurses are calling for .

Did you know that the 'vet nurse' title is not protected by law in the UK? That means that anyone can call themself a vet nurse, regardless of their training or qualifications.

Support from Zöe and other MPs for will be vital in getting new legislation through Parliament next year.

Would you like to invite your local MP to visit your practice? Get in touch with us and start the conversation: https://mybva.bva.co.uk/take-action/host-your-mp.html

Today I had the opportunity to Tour the Aura Veterinary Hospital in .

I toured the facilities, meeting staff, clients and some furry friends too! It was a pleasure to meet everyone and to find out more about how they operate.

We discussed the importance of maintaining relevant legislation to support veterinary nurses in their roles given the outdated nature of the Veterinary Surgeons Act 1966.
