"Using your VETstagram voice: brands, content creation and collaboration"

This panel, featuring Dr. Kirsten Ronngren from Many Pets, Dr. Bolu Eso, and Jack Pye RVN from IMV Imaging, will be chaired by Dr. Katie Ford. The focus of the session is on creators in the realm of social media and their role in educating both pet owners and veterinary colleagues, as well as their ability to collaborate with brands. The objective of the panel is to unite the voices of the veterinary profession with those of branding teams to amplify messages and leverage everyone's unique talents.

Jack Pye RVN (pye_rvn) has taken his love of ultrasonography, and now works extensively with Imv Imaging.

Kirsten Ronngren turned her social media skillset and expertise to create educational content for clients as part of her role at ManyPets

Bolu Eso has worked with many brands over the years, using his profile for good, spreading the good vibes and even ending up on TV!

We're proud that this panel is part of the Vets: Stay, Go, Diversify Page Careers Trail - come and see how you can use social media to impact your career along the way.

We want to get as many of the community to this session as possible, so please come and join us.

Next up: the awesome Courtney!!

If ever someone was to make anaesthesia fun, interesting and entertaining, it is Veterinary Anursethesia aka Courtney. We know she has had us in stitches many times before, but equally, she knows her stuff.

(Courtney is an RVN and writes about empowering RVNs on her card, but I've learned loads from her as a vet too. Make sure you check out her content and podcast episodes too! - Katie)

We loved hearing her insights as an influencer at BVA Live 2022 from , when she was on a panel with Ebony Escalona, Fabian aka DreadyVet and Ben The Vet.

Thank you so much for all you do, Courtney!

These cards were filled out during and we loved them so much that we wanted to keep spreading the word.

Next up, we have feline advocate, Scottish RVN and Nikki, aka Feline Fabulous Veterinary Nursing ( on Insta!)

Nikki McLeod is one of the most kind and encouraging humans you could ever care to meet. She is always cheerleading and celebrating others, and we wanted to showcase her too.

Nikki is a Fear Free EliteLow Stress Silver Cert holder, and regularly talks about cat communication and making their experiences more feline-friendly.

Plus in and amongst all of this, she has a podcast too - all about behaviour for veterinary nurses.

Please go and drop the awesome Nikki a follow, we think SHE is fabulous!
