College enrols vet nursing students

Applications open for academic year 2013/14

Veterinary nursing courses at the Central College of Animal Studies are now open to applicants for the academic year 2013/14.

The college, which specialises in veterinary and animal care studies, provides a range of full and part-time work-based learning programmes.

Courses offered include the Level 3 Diploma in Veterinary Nursing, specialising in either small animal (DipVN) or equine nursing (DipEVN), as well as the Level 2 Veterinary Nursing Assistant (VNA) qualification and Level 2 Diploma in Animal Nursing.

The VNA is a pre-veterinary nursing qualification offering progression on to further qualifications, such as the DipAN or DipVN. Similarly, students who achieve the Diploma in Animal Nursing can progress on to the DipVN (small animal or equine).

Central College offers courses in modern training practices located in west Suffolk and south Kent, and programmes comprise a blend of theoretical learning and hands-on practical experience.

Germany livestock import ban lifted

The UK government has amended its ban on the import of livestock, meat and dairy products from Germany.

Defra said the decision follows 'rigorous technical assessment' of the measures applied and the current situation. "If the situation changes, we will not hesitate to take necessary action in response to the FMD outbreaks in the European Union to protect our domestic biosecurity," it said.

The ban was implemented in January following an outbreak of foot and mouth disease (FMD) near Berlin. Personal imports of meat, milk and dairy products will remain in place at a country level.
