Lantra Conducts Online Survey
Lisa Jarvis at BVNA Congress

Lantra calls for feedback on Level 2 apprenticeship for Nursing Assistants in a Veterinary Setting. 

Lantra is asking the veterinary profession to complete an online survey regarding Level 2 apprenticeships for Nursing Assistants.

The survey is a fact-finding mission to gauge levels of demand for a Level 2 Intermediate/Foundation Apprenticeship for Nursing Assistants in a Veterinary Setting. 

The data gathered will be used by Lantra for the development of qualifications and frameworks for the industry.

Without feedback from the profession, future veterinary apprenticeships may not become funded and veterinary nursing assistants could miss out on formal qualification.

Lisa Jarvis, representing Lantra at this weekend's BVNA Congress, expressed her delight at the support received from attending delegates but she stressed the importance of feedback from veterinary practices.

She said: "I cannot stress the importance of the opinion of practices. The interest shown at Congress has been fantastic, but without practice feedback, progress will be minimal."

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.
