The College of Animal Welfare would like to thank all delegates, speakers and exhibitors who attended the very first Head Nurse Congress on the 16 and 17 May for making the event such a resounding success. The enthusiasm of all who attended was infectious and it was clear from the feedback that a head-nurse specific event was, in one delegate’s words, ‘a long time coming’!
More than double the predicted number of delegates attended this inaugural event in Cambridgeshire; with some travelling from as far away as Wales and Scotland. All came with a shared interest and desire to listen to speakers from inside and outside the profession on topics that were truly relevant to the head nurse in today’s modern veterinary practice. Outside of lectures, delegates enjoyed meeting exhibitors and networking with fellow nurses; trading tips and sharing stories.
Mark Hedberg, Short Course Manager at The College of Animal Welfare said “We’re delighted that so many current and aspiring head nurses joined us on one of the most inspiring weekends I’ve had the pleasure to run. The enthusiasm was obvious; we’re definitely going to do this again – see you next year!”
Feedback was very forthcoming, with delegates saying things such as:
“Very relevant to the head nurse role that no other congress has been”
“Very interesting subjects, lots to take away and try and implement”
“I am actually really looking forward to going to work on Monday, thank you!”
The date for next year’s event will be announced shortly. In the meantime you can register your details and be one of the first to hear about Head Nurse Congress 2016 at www.caw.ac.uk/hnc
