Central Qualifications (CQ) is delighted to announce the introduction of an educational bursary scheme, aimed at students enrolling on a CQ course at an approved Training Centre within the UK.

A number of bursaries to the value of £500 will be awarded each year, and are designed to help students meet the costs associated with undertaking veterinary nurse training.

The closing date for applications is 31st August 2012, and the successful applicants will receive their bursaries in November.

BVA urges 'continued vigilance' over bluetongue

The British Veterinary Association (BVA) has urged vigilance following a concerning rise in Bluetongue (BTV) cases in sheep and cattle.

In a recent statement, the BVA noted that members are reporting more severe clinical signs and higher mortality rates than in previous years.

'We know that farm vets are working hard to support farmers and animals affected by this outbreak, during what is an extremely difficult time for all involved,' they stated. 'Continued vigilance to identify disease early is vital and vaccination remains the best way of protecting animals from this disease.'
