Masters course to start for VNs
First clinical Masters course in vet nursing

Veterinary nurses looking to enhance their education will now have the chance to take a clinical Masters course in veterinary nursing, which will be launched at Harper Adams University College in September.

The MSc Veterinary Nursing will give VNs with an honours degree the chance to move forward in their qualifications, and has been designed for veterinary nurses in full or part-time work.

The course will be delivered via day visits to Harper Adams and distance learning. Postgraduate certificates include veterinary oncology nursing, veterinary rehabilitation therapy and veterinary nurse practitioner.

Dr Erica Martin, the course manager, said: "There will also be the opportunity to take individual modules as CPD or triads of modules to form a postgraduate certificate if the VN wants to enhance skills in one particular area without committing to the full MSc."

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.
