The Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons’ Veterinary Nurses Council (VNC) will mark its tenth anniversary on 9 October 2012.
Since its inception, the VNC has worked in the interest of animals and the public by guiding and supporting veterinary nursing in becoming a profession that is recognised and accountable within the veterinary team.
“The VNC has achieved outstanding work to initiate and advance the veterinary nurse’s role as a professional and accountable member of the veterinary team,” says VNC Chairman, Kathy Kissick RVN. “This has been a significant journey over a relatively short period of time and is all credit to the VNC over the past 10 years. The most satisfying element of this progress for the VNC, both past and present, is the positive impact that a veterinary team that includes regulated nursing input will have on animal welfare.
Since its foundation in October 2002, the VNC has supported the development of veterinary nursing and marked some major milestones for the profession. More details of which can be found on the RCVS website.
