Please be aware that City & Guilds have made some minor changes to some of the Veterinary Nursing OSCE tasks.
Changes are as follows:
D101 – D108 have a wording change. Step 1 previously stated to select a medium/large cassette but this now reads select suitable sized cassette.
The essential criteria in D102 (Diagnostic Imaging 02 Hips) are now steps 10 – Both hind limbs extended caudally, 25 – Correct positioning for BVA Kennel Club Hip Dysplasia Scheme (to include all necessary equipment) and 26 – Correct centring and collimation..
NC03 and NC19 – ( IM Injection 1 & Dispensing Medication) The wording in the scenario has been changed from Vetergesic to generic name & trade name.
Step 27 in NC12 (IM Injection 3) is now essential criteria so you must demonstrate safe, effective and aseptic technique.
NC17 – (Urinary Catheter Care) has been expanded to include the full WHO handwash which includes roll sleeves up. When recording the characteristics of the urine please comment on smell, colour and turbidity.
