Elliot Page, has become the first student to achieve the City & Guilds Level 3 Diploma in Veterinary Nursing qualification.
Elliot, who was a full time student at The College of Animal Welfare in Huntingdon, undertook her work placements at Scott’s Veterinary Clinic in Bedford and Companion Care Vets in Milton Keynes. Originally starting on the RCVS Level 3 Diploma, Elliot, along with her fellow classmates, were transferred to City & Guilds earlier this year.
Barbara Cooper, Principal at The College of Animal Welfare, said “We would like to offer our congratulations to Elliot on all her hard work throughout the programme. Being the first student to achieve this new qualification is definitely something to be proud of, and we wish Elliot all the best of luck in her future career as a qualified veterinary nurse”.
What’s more, Companion Care Milton Keynes, have now offered Elliot a permanent position on their team. Elliot said “I am so excited to finally be a qualified veterinary nurse, after all the hard work. And it makes it even better being known as the first ever veterinary nurse to qualify with City & Guilds!”
Julie Dugmore, Head of Veterinary Nursing at the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS), commented ‘The RCVS would like to congratulate Elliot on her success and is very pleased to be able to welcome her to the Register.’
