SEVC Offers Opportunities for VNs
Featuring lectures from leading veterinary nurses both from Spain and the UK and with delegates drawn from around the world, the event will also provide an opportunity for vet nurses in all areas of small animal practice to share experiences, gain hands-on practical experience and learn about emerging treatments in other countries.
The SEVC’s International Nursing programme has been developed by Lead Chair Sol Indurain, a Spanish veterinary nurse who qualified in the UK 18 years ago and who was Regional Coordinator for the BVNA in East Anglia in 2009. A past lecturer at the College of Animal Welfare, Sol now lectures part-time on Animal Science at Otley College in East Anglia and works as a locum nurse at, amongst other places, an ophthalmic referral centre in Cambridge. She will lecture on barrier nursing and the ophthalmic surgical patient at the SEVC.
Commenting on programme, Sol Indurain said: “Across Europe we’re seeing an opening up of veterinary nursing training and, through projects such as the Pan European Practical Assessment System for Veterinary Nurses, there’s also a greater emphasis on sharing knowledge and best practice across countries. The SEVC provides a great opportunity for UK vet nurses to learn more about nursing in other countries, to build contacts and to find out more about the range of international projects available for them to get involved in.”
The SEVC will take place in Barcelona between 30 September and 3 October 2010 with all lectures given in English and Spanish. Further information can be found here.
