We are delighted to announce that this year’s TP Congress is open for registration and, with so much going on in the profession at the moment, this year’s Congress is not to be missed!
This year we have made a few changes. Firstly, TP Congress is moving to MKCC Conference Centre in Milton Keynes – a purpose built conference centre with modern facilities and extensive parking conveniently located just off the M1. Secondly, due to the popularity of the Clinical Coach day, this year we have designed an all-Clinical Coach programme – that’s two full days of CPD dedicated to Clinical Coaching!
Coaching Support Skills
We’re delighted to be able to bring to you a selection of lectures that will try to help ease the day-to-day demands on your time. From coping with the pressures of being a Clinical Coach and motivating your students, to interviewing trainee nurses and how to talk so your student will listen. Director of Vet Learning, Dr Paul Manning, and Chartered Occupational Psychologist, Helen Frewin of Totem Consultancy will leave you motivated and inspired!
Teaching and Training
Get the latest guidance on veterinary nurse training qualifications as we look at how the power of technology is changing the way training is delivered. We also have lectures giving helpful advice on how to get the most out of your Training Practice visits and what you should and shouldn’t do with the Nursing Progress Log. A technical update from City & Guilds will lay out plans for the future and give you opportunities to ask any questions you may have.
Legislation and Regulation
Having just seen the first registered veterinary nurse being struck off the VN Register, it is vitally important that you know where you stand and what your responsibilities are. Kathy Kissick, Chairman of the RCVS VN Council, will provide both an update on regulation and important legislation you need to know. She will also look at what exactly your student is allowed to do whilst training and what they should know upon qualification. Nick Stace, RCVS Chief Executive and Secretary will lay out his plans for the profession for 2013 and Pam Mosedale will discuss the legal requirements of dispensing – important information you need to know!
