Improve International is delighted to open the Louise O’Dwyer Scholarship to veterinary nurses for the third year in a row. The global CPD provider will award a place on its Emergency and Critical Care (ECC) training programme, an area in which Louise O’Dwyer worked passionately in.
Louise O’Dwyer was a highly respected and awarded veterinary nurse, who lectured not only on Improve International’s Nurse Certificate ECC programme in the past but also many other nursing courses and at congresses around the world. She died in 2019.
To keep her legacy alive, the scholarship was set up with permission from her family. The successful candidate will have the option to study either face to face, gaining valuable hands-on experience under the guidance of the programme’s specialist speakers, or online with Improve International’s world-leading interactive platform which enables learning to fit around busy practice life.
At the end of the ECC training programme, the candidate will be awarded with a Nurse Certificate (NCert) in Emergency and Critical Care. This qualification will be awarded by the International School of Veterinary Postgraduate Studies (ISVPS) which is dedicated to providing the entire veterinary team with high quality, achievable qualifications that are recognised worldwide.
Dr Charlotte French, Head of Curriculum and Quality at Improve International, said: “Louise O’Dwyer was a friend of Improve International and we were honoured to have her share her expertise and talents with so many veterinary nurses eager to learn more about ECC. This scholarship in her name is our way of thanking her for all that she contributed to the veterinary community and to keep her memory alive by giving someone the wonderful opportunity to gain an achievable postgraduate qualification in an area she was passionate about.”
The scholarship is open from 19 May 2022 – 4 July 2022.
