Thank you to the delegates and speakers, Amelia Sherwood RVN NCert (Anaesth) and Amanda Curtis RVN, who joined us last weekend in Wrexham for this fantastic full day in-person CPD event on “A day in the life of a wound vet nurse".

Topics for the day included:
✅ Wound complications and how to manage them
✅ Case based practical – selecting wound care products
✅ Tie-over dressings

💬 “Very comprehensive lectures and practical sessions; A perfect mix of information and option for interactive opportunities”

💬 “I came unsure of what to expect or how much I would gain. I have completed the day, and all these concerns have been addressed. I learned a lot and have a much needed boost to my current interest in wounds and their management”

Congratulations to BVNA Advocate, Joy Shutt, for delivering such a terrific event!

This event was kindly sponsored by J.A.K Marketing, Essity and Veterinary Instrumentation 💚
