What are your views on behaviour teaching?
Survey asks for nurses and vets' input

WHAT nurses and vets need to know in the field of animal behaviour is the subject of a survey by two prominent behaviourists.

Anne McBride and Mandy Roshier are seeking members of the profession's views on this to help understand what, if any, curricula developments may be appropriate for vets and nurses when it comes to the teaching of animal behaviour.

An online questionnaire is being hosted by the researchers, which will take a maximum of 30 minutes to complete. To make the process easier, the survey may be started then returned to later to for completion.

The survey asks for views on the knowledge and skills requirements of veterinary professionals. There are no wrong or right answers and the information you provide will be processed anonymously.
"We hope you will be willing to share your information and views with us. It is an opportunity to feed directly into an aspect of the veterinary future. Please feel free to encourage other veterinarians and veterinary nurses to take part," said Dr Anne McBride.
The survey can be found at: www.isurvey.soton.ac.uk/8917
