&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;We are sorry that you
feel your membership to the BVNA doesn&amp;#39;t provide you with value for money.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;BVNA strives to
provide membership benefits that offer good value for money and at a cost which
is affordable to veterinary nurses.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;As the only
representative body for veterinary nurses in the UK, we value our members&amp;rsquo;
support. This enables us to continue providing essential representation for the
profession across the profession.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;We are currently
conducting a membership survey which would provide you with an opportunity to
tell us what you would like from your representative body and also what
membership benefits are or would be important to you.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;If you haven&amp;rsquo;t
completed this already we would appreciate your feedback as your opinion and
views are essential to enable us to serve our membership the very best we can.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thankfully it has now been resolved and I have the access that was missing &lt;img src="http://www.vetnurse.co.uk/emoticons/new/Very_happy_smiley.png" alt="Big Smile" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

I think it&amp;#39;s great value for money ,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;much more than bvna , of which I have been a member for year&amp;#39;s.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Having looked I also don&amp;#39;t have the online access to the things I should have &lt;img src="http://www.vetnurse.co.uk/emoticons/new/Confused_smiley.png" alt="Tongue Tied" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: BSAVA Veterinary Nurse Membership - the good and the bad</title><link>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/151966?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 14 May 2014 16:03:42 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:117bbf44-3902-4b2d-a347-b900ef818234</guid><dc:creator>Sally Everitt</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hi Clare,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I work for BSAVA and was surprised to read your post, as veterinary nurse members should have access to &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Online access to vet stream Congress Podcasts* (excluding Masterclasses)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;downloadable Client Information Leaflets&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Free Learn@Lunch webinars&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Online access to the Journal of Small Animal Practice &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;as well as other benefits listed in full here &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bsava.com/Membership/Membercategories/Veterinarynursee-member.aspx"&gt;http://www.bsava.com/Membership/Membercategories/Veterinarynursee-member.aspx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am not in the office today but have checked with those that are and it appears that there were some problems with the access to the website from your account. This should now have been fixed. If you still don&amp;#39;t have access or have any other problem please email Alison Ferry (&lt;a href="mailto:a.ferry@bsava.com"&gt;a.ferry@bsava.com&lt;/a&gt;) and she will try to resolve any issues you have with access to member benefits,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kind Regards&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sally Everitt&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
