VETS FOR UKRAINE – Hosting Refugee Families
NI vet associations wish to support vet colleagues and their families fleeing Ukraine. A number of initiatives are being explored and more information should be available shortly but in the meantime, we are building a database of potential homes for vets, vet nurses and their families here in NI.
The Government Homes for Ukraine scheme requires you to know the name of the Ukrainian to whom you wish to offer accommodation so we are establishing links that will allow the NI vet community to connect those fleeing Ukraine who also have a vet connection (vets, vets’ families, vet nurses etc.)
The hope is that the common ground shared by vets, wherever they are from, will in some small way smooth a desperate process and provide some reassurance.
If you think you may be able to offer accommodation, please drop us an e-mail to info@vetni.co.uk. We will add you to our database without obligation and share further information as soon as we can.

NIVA AGM – a great start to 2022
Yet again this year COVID played havoc with the best-laid plans and NIVA held its second successive Virtual AGM on Wednesday 9th February.
Outgoing President Mark Little welcomed a pleasingly large crowd and summarised the variety of NIVA’s activities for the year – providing input to a plethora of consultations, engaging with issues affecting animal welfare and the interests of the profession, providing representation and support for members, raising money for local charities (£1470 for Vet Support NI and almost £3000 for Air Ambulance NI), and seeking out creative hybrid ways to provide CPD, craic and convivial company when circumstances allowed. Mark thanked all those who had helped him in achieving his aims for a phenomenally busy year (members, sponsors, Council, the officer team, his family and the tireless team at VetNI), before handing over the reins and the very impressive NIVA Chain to new President Fiona McFarland.
Fiona graduated from Bristol in 2004 and started her career in farm practice in Somerset before returning to NI in 2011 to work in Earlswood Veterinary Hospital, where the legendary Des Thompson first encouraged her to become involved with NIVA Council. Fiona has an enormous amount of experience to bring to the twin roles of NIVA and BVA(NI) President. In addition to years on NIVA Council she has served on BVA Policy Committee, been instrumental in setting up Young Vet Network and Vet Support NI, and worked as a locum in over 45 practices in Northern Ireland before taking up her current role in industry as Account Manager Ireland North for IMV Imaging.
Fiona is looking forward to a busy year as we (hopefully) emerge from the pandemic and get to grips with Brexit, workforce issues, climate change and sustainability. She will be ably assisted by Mark, who continues as SVP, and Esther Skelly-Smith, whose election as JVP was ratified by the membership. Susan Cunningham was elected as Public Relations Officer, and Seamus O’Kane and Rachel Davies continue as Treasurer and Secretary respectively. Council members Sean Rooney, Kirsten Dunbar, William Sherrard, Lara Wilson and Ed Taylor are stepping down this year, and were thanked for their hard work. New Council members Aoife Ferris, Patricia Van Veen, Ruth Moreno, Roisin Dickinson, Sharon Verner, Orla McAlister, and an impressive 59 new ordinary members were ratified by the membership and welcomed.
The business part of the meeting being concluded, Fiona introduced the evening’s speaker – Professor Michael Doherty, Dean of UCD Veterinary School, who provided an Educational Perspective on Future Challenges for the Veterinary Profession.
NIVA is extremely grateful to Boehringer Ingelheim for their ongoing support, and particularly sponsorship of this year’s NIVA AGM.
Vet education – a very current topic to be addressed at NIVA AGM
The NIVA Annual general meeting on Wednesday 9th February 2022 will include a presentation by guest speaker Professor Michael Doherty, Dean and Head of the School of Veterinary Medicine and Professor of Veterinary Clinical Studies in the School of Veterinary Medicine, University College Dublin. Who better to help us understand the “Future Challenges for the Veterinary Profession – an Educational Perspective“?
NIVA members and non-members can register for this talk via the entry for the event on the VetNI calendar.
Members can nomination fellow members for the role of Junior Vice President by e-mailing info@vetni.co.uk
This event has been generously sponsored by our colleagues at Boehringer Ingelheim
