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.
