New Nurse Qualifications
From February 2010, Improve International will be offering six, eight-module courses for veterinary nurses which are accredited by The European School of Veterinary Postgraduate Studies (ESVPS) and lead to a Certificate qualification in each field of study.
These programmes offer a unique opportunity to learn new procedures and practices, veterinary nurses will have the chance to communicate their newly acquired skills in their practices right from the first session.
Nurses can choose from five interactive clinical courses; Anaesthesia, Behaviour, Dentistry, Laboratory Techniques and Practical Techniques. The courses will help increase confidence in vital areas of veterinary nursing and are ideal for nurses who may wish to establish their own ‘in-practice’ services. Key practical sessions will also enable delegates to practice techniques in a relaxed environment. In addition, a Business Development course is on offer which guides delegates through the different aspects of marketing and management within a forward-thinking veterinary practice.
Nick Fowler, General Manager of Improve International, says: ‘One of the best things to invest in is yourself and your career. Each of these six courses for veterinary nurses will not only increase job satisfaction and boost enthusiasm, but they are an achievable way to gain a European-level qualification which will allow nurses to return to their practices with clear business benefits.’
