Read the reviewer reports

With veterinary journals publishing enthusiastic reports regarding the new VN Diploma, many well-known veterinary nurses and industry leaders have been eager to add their support.

Having extensively reviewed the DipVN, glowing comments came thick and fast from influential nurses, lecturers and authors.

A number of evaluations has been created, which includes an equivalence report and the profile and testimonials of external reviewers.

One of the reviewers, Joy Venturi Rose MSc BA Ed (Hons) RVN Hon LMBVNA, has considerable experience of veterinary nursing and teaching. Amongst other achievements, she has been an equivalence officer and external examiner for the RCVS.

After reviewing the Diploma, Joy Venturi Rose stated:

"Helpful cross referencing of indicative content enables educators to easily highlight areas of commonality across the syllabus and aids clarification on what students need to know.

This new qualification should complement the existing provision for veterinary nurse training."

Joy's report concludes with a letter of recommendation to the VN Council chairman.
