Nursing and education heads join RCVS
Christine Warman

College welcomes new heads of department

The RCVS has welcomed a new head of veterinary nursing and head of education to its staff, following the early retirement of Libby Earle in April.

Registered veterinary nurse Julie Dugmore has replaced Libby as head of veterinary nursing, having joined the college in 2002 as an external verifier.

Julie currently works as VN quality manager at the college, and will take up her new post on October 1.

 

Meanwhile, Christine Warham will be welcomed to the role of head of education in early November. The position became available when Freda Andrews was promoted to the new role of director of education. 

 

With a range of experience in the education sector, Christine established her own consultancy in 2000, providing a range of project management, qualification development and quality assurance services.

 

Christine also worked for the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority, where she coordinated the occupational standards programme, and the National Council for Vocational Qualifications as a development coordinator.

 

In 2006, she also provided project management services and developed research funding proposals for the RCVS Gateway to the Professions careers project.

 

Commenting on the appointments, Freda said: "I am delighted to welcome Julie and Christine to their new posts. 

 

"Their combined experience will give us a strong foundation for the ongoing development of the education and training functions within the College, for both veterinary nurses and veterinary surgeons."

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.
