Developing nurse-led procedures: A surgical focus

Presented by Joseph Bend
As Registered Veterinary Nurses, we often encounter significant barriers against the effective utilisation of our surgical nursing skills. This session aims to explore the benefits and boundaries of developing a nurse-led procedure service in relation to legal, ethical and professional considerations. We will identify suitable strategies for encouraging the introduction of nurse-led procedures within your workplace and outline essential practical techniques to ensure this skillset is adopted beyond your session notes.
Presented at BVA Live 2026 in BVNA Nursing theatre on 12 June 2026, from 09:00 to 09:50.
