No election for VN Council this year
12 February 2010
Only two nominations have been received for the RCVS Veterinary Nurses Council and there were two places up for contest, so there will be no VN Council election this year.
The two places will be filled by Hilary Orpet and Suzanne May. Hilary is a Lecturer in Veterinary Nursing at the Royal Veterinary College, and will start her second four-year term on Council.
Suzanne is Head of the Veterinary Nursing Approved Centre and Senior Lecturer at Harper Adams University College.
The pair will take up their positions formally on RCVS Day in July.
“Although I am delighted that Hilary remains on Council, and look forward to welcoming Suzanne, I am disappointed that so few VNs took the opportunity to stand for election," commented Liz Branscombe, Chairman of the VN Council.
"For VN Council to remain relevant to all VNs, it is important that as many VNs as possible engage with the political process,” she added.
Meanwhile, ten veterinary surgeons are competing to fill the six available places on RCVS Council – ballot papers will be issued to all members during the second week of March and voting will run until 30 April 2010.
