Central College of Animal Studies heads to London

All members of the veterinary practice team have been welcomed to visit the Central College of Animal Studies at this year's London Vet Show.

Specialising in veterinary and animal care studies, Central College are keen to encourage those responsible for veterinary nurse training - whether the practice manager, head nurse or owner - to visit the stand and discuss tailored training programmes for the practice.

At the event, the team from Central College are also looking to discuss their comprehensive training for the veterinary nursing profession - including pre-veterinary nursing pathway courses, the Diploma in Veterinary Nursing and a range of CPD programmes.

Erica Dorling, centres co-ordinator for the college, said: "We are excited to be meeting with delegates to discuss training opportunities at London Vet Show.

"We will also be providing details of various personal development courses in the coming year, ideal for anyone working in practice."

This year's London Vet Show is taking place on November 21 and 22 at the Grand Hall Olympia in Kensington. Central College will be exhibiting on stand A10.

To discuss veterinary nursing training in more detail, delegates can make an appointment to speak with a Central College representative during the event. To book, call 01359 243405 or email enquiries@ccoas.org.uk.
