Course summary
Overview Our hands-on approach to Veterinary Nursing means you’ll learn through a mix of theoretical study and professional experience in small animal veterinary practice. Guided by veterinary professionals, you’ll develop your clinical skills as you learn how to undertake a range of diagnostic tests, medical treatments and minor surgical procedures as well as the required underpinning theoretical knowledge. Why study Veterinary Nursing with us Our course is run with the College of Animal Welfare (CAW), so students will be taught by the UK's largest veterinary nurse training provider. You'll study the concepts that underpin professional veterinary nursing practice and gain essential veterinary nursing knowledge of the anatomical, biomedical and physiological principles related to animal health and veterinary nursing care. You will also explore and debate the current issues affecting veterinary practice and the role of the professional veterinary nurse within this. Upon successful graduation, you can apply to become a Registered Veterinary Nurse with full accreditation from the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons. Build your practical Veterinary Nursing skills During your degree you will develop your understanding of the role of the registered veterinary nurse, through a range of theoretical and practical modules, as well as work based practical experience. During each year of the course, you will build on what you have already learned, to become a competent and confident registered veterinary nurse. You will undertake modules that focus on body systems, professional development, practical veterinary nursing, and other areas of veterinary nursing such as emergency and critical care. You will also gain the VetSkill Companion Animal Suitably Qualified Persons qualification (C-SQP). Supporting you directly You'll be taught by an experienced teaching team with a wide range of expertise and professional experience. You will learn by attending lectures, seminars and practical workshops. Seminars and workshops are a great opportunity to discuss what you have learnt in lectures and through independent study with your peers and tutors. Most seminar groups have about 20-30 students.
