Message from BVRA President, Dani Bowers AVR:
“Veterinary receptionists are at the heart of every practice. They are often the first point of contact for clients and play a vital role in shaping every interaction and experience.
BVRA Congress is an opportunity to recognise that impact, build confidence, and connect with a supportive professional community. This year’s theme, ‘Everything Starts at Reception’, highlights just how integral reception teams are to the success of veterinary practice.
I’m incredibly proud of the work BVRA does to champion this role, and I look forward to welcoming delegates to what promises to be an inspiring and empowering event.”
