Vet Nursing Vision: The future of team-based veterinary healthcare

VN Futures is sponsoring and supporting a series of RCVS engagement events during 2024 to gain views from the professions on their aspirations and visions for veterinary nursing.

The first of these regional events will be held in Northern Ireland, at the College of Agriculture Food and Rural Enterprise, Greenmount Campus on 8 May, with further dates to follow throughout the year. 

About the event 

It is important for us to gain an understanding of where the professions feel the delivery of team-based veterinary healthcare is, or should be, heading. We want to seize the opportunity to explore a vision for the profession with the profession.

Through these workshops, we want to identify what you think, or hope, team-based veterinary healthcare will look like in 2035, and will guide you through this process during the event, including the use of short, inspirational videos. You will work in small groups of like-minded professionals, supported by our own veterinary nursing colleagues.

We will encourage open-minded, unrestricted thinking, setting aside the current legislative obstacles, to explore how veterinary care might be delivered in 2035 and how veterinary nurses will fit into that delivery.

What is your aspiration for veterinary nursing and your vision for the future of the profession? Something to aim for, to aspire to. Is this somewhere you'll want to work and to stay? Somewhere you'll be proud to encourage the next generation to join?

We hope to have attendance from veterinary nurses and veterinary nursing students to gain a broad view across a range of perspectives.

Key areas for discussion in groups will be:

• Education
• Structure of delivery of care
• Practice culture
• What nurses do
