ABOUT US
Representing and Supporting Irish Veterinary Nurses Nationwide
The Irish Veterinary Nursing Association (IVNA) is the representative body for veterinary nurses in the Republic of Ireland. It is a voluntary, not for profit organisation which acts as the voice of its members in protecting and promoting the profession.
The association promotes animal health, care and welfare and fosters a need to cultivate the highest standard of veterinary nursing through the continuing advancement of professional development and ongoing education.
This site has been designed to provide veterinary nurses and support staff with up-to-date information about many aspects of the profession including Continuing Professional Development, legislative changes and other relevant news items.
The aims of the IVNA include:
-
Representation of the veterinary nursing profession generally and specifically IVNA members.
-
Provision of continuing education events for student veterinary nurses and qualified veterinary nurses
-
Promote the profession and liaise with national and international veterinary bodies and stakeholders e.g. Veterinary Council of Ireland, VETTNET, IVNTA and Educational Providers.
-
Provide advice, support and guidance to its members.
-
Any other matters which may affect the education or work of veterinary nurses.
In 2023 the IVNA conducted another survey of the Irish Veterinary Nursing Profession. Exploring opinions and challenges faced by Veterinary Nursing and monitoring developments in areas such as working conditions and salary.
The IVNA and its members would like to thank all of our supporters and sponsors
