” I have to admit the thought of presenting my own research in front of lots of unfamiliar faces was very daunting, but it is probably one of the biggest highlights of my career,” says previous presentation winner Hannah Durling.” Following the poster presentation, a lot also changed for me in practice, as I was able to use my research to help clients with their diabetic dogs and I have made my own set of‘ client-friendly’ resources to give to owners of diabetic dogs. It has been so rewarding to see how I have managed to put the many hours of researching / collecting data and studying into practice, and be able to help clients feel more confident and less overwhelmed when managing their pet ' s diabetes.”

At VNJ Live, you ' ll share your work in a friendly, supportive and welcoming atmosphere, designed to celebrate your achievements and encourage learning from one another. You can connect with peers, gain recognition and be part of a vibrant community that values the voice of every veterinary nurse.
