BVNA nears its 5000th member
bvna logo
BVNA was formed in March 1965 by a group of voluntary veterinary nurses.
Double celebration during golden jubilee year

As it celebrates its 50th birthday this year, the BVNA is also set to reach another major milestone - its 5000th member.

The organisation, which represents veterinary nurses in the UK, was formed in March 1965 by a group of volunteer nurses who wanted to share their news and offer support to other veterinary nurses.

In its first meeting, the BVNA agreed on its aim - 'to foster and promote the standard of veterinary nursing' - which remains at the heart of the organisation today.

By September 1965, the association had grown its membership to 28 nurses. Now, in its golden jubilee year, it will soon sign up its 5000th member.

To celebrate this milestone, the 5000th member will be awarded lifetime membership and a complimentary day at BVNA Congress.
