To honour the 60^th anniversary of the BVNA and Veterinary Nursing Awareness Month 2025, we hosted a commemorative episode of our podcast, Beyond the Clinic. In this special episode, host Liz Cox is joined by a panel of four veterinary nurses from across our network to discuss the evolution of veterinary nursing.

With over 20 years’ collective experience, our vet nurse panel explores the key changes they have witnessed in the profession and how they hope to see it advancing further.

Learn more about how the veterinary nurse role has changed from our out-of-hours, first opinion, equine and senior development vet nurses.

For Veterinary Nursing Awareness Month 2024, we created a video portraying the impressive variety of jobs performed by an RVN, whilst showing the many roles within vet nursing as a whole, including vet nurses in equine, small animal and exotics, to name a few.

The concept for the video is based on the popular viral video trend “Of course I can”, as a way of empowering vet nurses, whether they are a part of the IVC Evidensia community or not. 

Ultimately, the purpose of the video is to generate pride for vet nurses everywhere and highlight the role that RVNs play in driving progression within the veterinary profession.

Our veterinary teams across the UK can only deliver an exceptional standard of care by utilising the local experience and unique skillset of our veterinary nurses.

The Nurse Board is designed to empower vet nurses by giving them access to learning opportunities, encouraging career development and ensuring they have everything they need to deliver first-class care.
