A New Era For Veterinary Nursing
image goes here

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.

Reading to dogs transformed life of boy with dyslexia

A Dogs Helping Kids scheme in North Devon, which aims to help children learn to read by practising aloud with dogs, has transformed the life of a boy with dyslexia. Aged nine, Finn Swanson was diagnosed as having dyslexic traits last year, and was a reluctant reader, which was impacting on his progress and confidence.

However, since he began reading to Dexter, a shih tzu/poodle cross, and Kym, a cavalier King Charles/poodle cross, Finn's teachers have seen a transformation in him. Special educational needs co-ordinator, Naomi Jeffries, says: "He's a completely different child."
