Following on from the publication of BEVA's Schedule 3 guidelines in 2023, Marie and the BEVA Nurse Committee have been working hard with Jim Green at BARTA to understand the role of the equine RVN in emergency rescue situations. The new guidelines being published jointly by BEVA and BARTA aim to highlight the role of the RVN during these high stress and challenging situations to further improve animal welfare, client communication and team work with other professionals. It is hoped that these guidelines will help to empower RVNs to utilise their skills and develop new and rewarding roles within the equine veterinary profession.

The Back in the Saddle group career coaching scheme was launched in 2024 and received overwhelmingly positive feedback from its first cohort. We invited coachee, Vicky Jux, to share her experience of being part of this initiative, which is free to member and open to vets and nurses who are over 5 years qualified. The impact of this coaching on those involved is seemingly more far-reaching than anyone expected!
