The inaugural Rehabilitation and Physiotherapy VN Merit Award from BSAVA is already fully subscribed, with places on other programmes proving hugely popular.
BSAVA created the new VN Merit Awards having identified a demand amongst nurses for focussed and cost-effective CPD which could fit into busy lives. As Academic Director Dr Frances Barr explains, “Veterinary nurses have an increasing desire to stretch their skills and expand their contribution to the clinical team, and the new awards will provide that opportunity. They deserve the support of the whole profession.”
VNs taking part in these programmes can expect to strengthen their theoretical knowledge and to learn important practical skills in an area of particular interest to them. At the end they will be taking greater confidence and new skills back into the practice which they can share with the wider practice team.
Despite being a brand new course, there is clearly faith that BSAVA can continue to deliver relevant, challenging CPD for nurses. The first two Merit Awards will run in autumn 2012. All the places on Rehabilitation and Physiotherapy have been booked, but interested individuals can join a waiting list for the next course. Anaesthesia and analgesia has also proved popular, with just a few places left, at the time of writing. Further merit awards in wildlife nursing and in surgical nursing are planned for 2013.
