VetNurse.co.uk has launched a new community exclusively for veterinary nurses and veterinary nursing assistants to ask each other questions and be rewarded for helping each other.

In short, the old discussion forums have been replaced with a new format where we now invite members to post ONLY questions for the community instead.

Your question can be about anything you like: clinical, practice management, or even something which has nothing to do with work.

Then anyone in the community, which includes fellow veterinary nurses and representatives from industry, can earn points for answering your question.

In due course, points will mean prizes and there'll be rewards for the most helpful community members and the most interesting questions, as voted for by you. 

The new VetNurse Community which now exists entirely to help you get good quality, authoritative answers to your questions has a very strict requirement that all participants treat each other with courtesy, respect and good manners.

There will also be a requirement for contributors to share their level of experience in their profile, to give their answers some context.

VetNurse Editor Arlo Guthrie said: "I've struggled for a while about the role of discussion forums in the Facebook era. 

"But this, I think, will be a really useful platform which offers something completely different. 

"In short, a community exclusively for answering each others' questions; somewhere you can be absolutely certain of a friendly welcome and an authoritative answer.

"If other members of the community don't know the answer to your question, then I personally will go and see whether I can find someone else to help with it"

"Plus I want to make it a bit more fun to help each other, which I think a competitive element, with a leaderboard and rewards will bring"

"The other great thing about asking and answering questions on VetNurse.co.uk is that you will be contributing to a searchable body of knowledge and experience everyone in the profession can benefit from.

"In due course, we'll be upgrading VetNurse.co.uk with all sorts of extra features which will make it easier for you to follow questions, refer back to ones you've had answered, and more."

Meantime, come and try it out.
