Photos and reflections from attendees of this year ' s event

The BVNA Vet Clinic hosted demonstrations of equipment and opportunities to practise hands-on tasks . The Makers Market was back by popular demand , with products created by veterinary nurses , and the exhibition hall was packed with new products and prize draws .

However , it wasn ' t all work : the Friday night musical bingo had delegates playing air guitar and lip syncing for prizes , and the ‘ Blue Light ’ -themed dinner dance had people boogieing into the early hours .

BVNA Congress is always a great mix of learning , fun , catching up with old friends and making new ones . Next year , BVNA will be celebrating its 60th anniversary , so BVNA Congress 2025 promises to be an amazing event .
