Bursary offered for holistic approach
Vétoquinol is offering a £2,000 bursary to a veterinary nurse keen to apply a more holistic approach to their work and practice.
The bursary is available for any course with the Centre of Applied Pet Ethology (COAPE), including its diploma programme in Companion Animal Behaviour and its training and certificate in Canine Veterinary Training.
Helen Walker, product manager at Vétoquinol, said: "Veterinary nurses hold a vital position in vet practices and this bursary is intended to help nurses extend their knowledge and further their career in animal behaviour."
She explained that encouraging veterinary nurses to undertake training in animal behaviour can "significantly" benefit both the individual and their practice.
According to the company, such training can bring increased income, safer pet handing for staff, client loyalty and more relaxed handling of animals.
The company Vétoquinol is dedicated to improving animal health using its expertise in the veterinary medicine field, including anti-infectives, anti-inflammatories, anti-parasitics and complementary feeds.
Veterinary nurses who wish to apply must fill in an application form explaining their reasons for furthering their career in animal behaviour and what they hope to achieve upon completion of the course.
To apply for the bursary, contact 01280 825492 to request an application form.
Applications must be submitted by September 30, 2013.
A nationwide roadshow offering free, personalised parasite risk assessments and flea and tick checks will be visiting popular dog events across the UK.
