Young Vet Network

Supporting young vets around the UK

Want to connect with other graduate vets in your local area, share your career experiences, and benefit from the knowledge and support of the wider young vet community?

Young Vet Network groups

BVA’s Young Vet Network (YVN) was introduced to support veterinary students through their graduation and help to address the feelings of isolation and vulnerability that many graduates experience on entering practice.

If you're a vet graduate up to 8 years qualified, why not get involved? Discover your local Young Vet Network group today for the opportunity to:

  1. Connect with vet graduates via our dedicated Facebook communities
  2. Attend face-to-face educational events in your local area
  3. Enjoy social get togethers with friends and peers
