A brand new online refresher course, designed to keep veterinary nurses up-to-date on the latest microchipping requirements, has been launched by The College of Animal Welfare (CAW).
Designed in response to much confusion around the recent changes in microchipping legislation, the online course will clarify legal requirements, look at notifiable events, give advice on processes for non-functioning microchips, identify UK and European implantation sites and more.
Priced at just £25, this online course provides 12 hours of evidenced Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and is part of an ongoing commitment by CAW to provide meaningful and accessible CPD to the veterinary community.
Sally Mitchell, CPD Course Tutor at The College of Animal Welfare, said “Registered veterinary nurses have a professional responsibility to ensure they are fully aware and knowledgeable about the procedures they are undertaking and the advice they are giving out to clients”. She continued “This course was developed following the recognition that many veterinary nurses were seeking clarification about the changes and how this directly affects their involvement in the process”.
