A New Era For Veterinary Nursing

With veterinary nursing now entering its fifty-first year, a new era for VN education and training has begun.

Central Qualifications, the first independent awarding body to offer a veterinary nursing qualification, has announced its commitment to making training more practically orientated and accessible for veterinary practices.

The introduction of the Central Skills log as an alternative to the NPL brings a number of key advantages for students, clinical coaches and tutors.

In addition to the Diploma in Veterinary Nursing ( DipVN), Central qualification has also announced three new nursing qualifications:
  • The Diploma in Equine Veterinary Nursing ( DipEVN )
  • The Diploma in Animal Nursing ( DipAN )
  • The Diploma for Veterinary Nursing Assistants ( DipVNA )

The team at CQ have utilised their combined veterinary and nursing expertise of over 150 years to ensure that the qualifications are designed to reflect the current needs of veterinary practices.

With further developments under way this is truly a New Era for Veterinary Nursing.

Veterinary practices, Centres and colleges can find out more by contacting Denise Burke at Central Qualifications.

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.
