The Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) are currently asking all veterinary nurses and veterinary surgeons to give their view on a new framework for post-registration veterinary nursing qualifications.
The two new qualifications the RCVS are proposing are:
- Graduate Certificate in Advanced Veterinary Nursing
- Postgraduate Certificate in Advanced Veterinary Nursing
The new proposed framework aims to address the frustration amongst veterinary nurses about the lack of career progression and formal qualifications in advanced skills and knowledge.
The draft framework and online consultation questionnaire can be found on the RCVS website. All responses must be made by 5pm on Monday 27 August 2018.
