Every year during the month of May, the veterinary profession celebrates Veterinary Nursing Awareness Month (VNAM), which is proudly spearheaded by the British Veterinary Nursing Association (BVNA).
The purpose of VNAM is to champion the veterinary nursing profession to the public and animal owners. The vital role of veterinary nurses in upholding animal welfare is highlighted – both in and out of clinical practice.
Our nurses are important members of the clinical team and work alongside our vets, providing the treatment and care needed to ensure that each of our equine patients at our hospital and diagnostic centre has the best chance for a healthy outcome. They also play an active role in liaising with horse owners, advising clients on wound care, post-operative care and management of stabling environments when their horse goes home, as directed by the attending clinician.
Pictured here are some of our fantastic nursing team – left to right: Shannon Edmondson, Jo Harvey, Olivia Proverbs-Grover, Natalie Fisk, Amy Gent, Sammie Feighery, Joana Bourbon, Georgia Littlefield, Amelia Christian, Natasha Mitchell and Amanda McSharry
