Funding available for PM qualification
Enrol before end December for part funding

COURSE provider UMD Professional has announced that part-funding is available for its fast-track management qualification course for veterinary practice managers. This will be available until the end of this year.

The course leads to the nationally recognised ILM Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management.
The six-month course starts in London in January, and provides a combination of six intensive full day workshops, monthly webinars and guided home study supported by a tutor.

The part-funding is available for applications received by December 31 and early application is advised to secure the funding.

Fiona Stuart-Wilson, director of UMD Professional, said: ‘This course has proved popular with veterinary practice managers wanting to consolidate their knowledge and gain a worthwhile management qualification. I am delighted we have been able to secure some funding towards the fees for the course in the new year.

"In addition, managers who successfully complete the ILM Level 5 Diploma course can build on their qualification with further part-time study with one of our partner universities to achieve a degree, and we are very pleased we are being instrumental in opening up this route to further qualifications for veterinary practice managers."

For more information about the course and funding available please contact:

Milk recalled over presence of veterinary medicines

Graham's Family Dairy has issued a recall for its semi-skimmed milk due to the presence of veterinary medicines in the product.

In a risk statement, the Food Standards Agency said the presence of the medicines, including penicillin, make the milk unsafe to consume and 'may be a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to antibiotics'.

Customers who bought the product are advised to return it to the store of purchase for a full refund.
