ACOVENE Launches its Biannual Newsletter

ACOVENE is delighted to announce the launch of its new biannual newsletter, with the first edition to be published this April. The newsletter will offer insights into ACOVENE’s work, share updates on governance and accreditation, and highlight topics of interest to our wider professional community.

While a full mailing database is still being developed, subscriptions are already open. We warmly invite colleagues and stakeholders to sign up via email here to receive the inaugural edition and stay connected with ACOVENE’s activities.

The Voice of Excellence in Education

Beyond simple updates, this newsletter serves as a dedicated forum for excellence in veterinary nursing. By bridging the gap between educational institutions and the clinical frontline, ACOVENE aims to foster a shared language of quality across Europe. Whether you are an educator refining a curriculum or a student embarking on your professional journey, these insights provide the context needed to understand how high-level standards translate into superior animal care and professionnal pride.

Navigating a Diverse Professional Landscape

In an industry where titles and legal responsibilities vary significantly from one country to the next, staying informed is more than a convenience—it is a professional necessity. This biannual publication will peel back the layers of international regulation, offering a clearer look at how “veterinary nurses,” “auxiliaries,” and “technicians” are unifying under a common banner of expertise. It is an invitation to look beyond your local clinic and engage with a movement that is elevating the status of para-veterinary professionals on a global stage.

Building a Connected Future Together

Growth thrives on connection, and the launch of this newsletter marks a pivotal step in building a more cohesive ACOVENE community. We are moving toward a future where every stakeholder has a seat at the table and every innovation in accreditation is shared transparently. By subscribing today, you aren’t just signing up for an email; you are joining a collective effort to champion the essential role that veterinary nurses play in the modern medical team, ensuring our voices remain as loud as our standards are high.

*In some countries, they are called veterinary technicians, veterinary auxiliaries, para-veterinarians or simply carers for sick animals. European standards for the education and training of these professionals have been set up by ACOVENE.

DISCLAIMER: Please note that what veterinary nurses can and cannot do legally may differ per country.
