IRISH VETERINARY NURSING ASSOCIATION

The Irish Veterinary Nursing Association (IVNA) is the professional body that represents and supports veterinary nurses throughout the Republic of Ireland. By offering a clear hub for advice and support, the IVNA helps its members stay informed about best practice, regulatory updates and career development opportunities.

Membership gives access to a range of specialist services, including the IVNA Awards which celebrate excellence in veterinary nursing, and a robust calendar of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) events designed to enhance skills and knowledge. The association also provides a welcoming community for new and experienced nurses alike, with a dedicated team that works to promote the profession and advocate on behalf of its members.

Through these initiatives, the IVNA plays a vital role in uplifting standards, fostering professional growth and strengthening the veterinary nursing community across Ireland.
