TP Congress, the annual event dedicated solely to clinical coaches in veterinary practice, held on the 29 February and 1 March 2016, saw over 100 attendees come together to hear the latest news and views on veterinary nurse training.
This year TP Congress moved to the beautiful Whittlebury Hall Hotel and Spa near Silverstone in Northamptonshire, providing onsite accommodation for delegates who had travelled some distance to attend. The move to Whittlebury Hall provided the perfect opportunity to expand the commercial exhibition and hold a cocktails and canapes reception on the first evening. These new additions were very well received and allowed delegates further opportunity to network and share experiences with fellow clinical coaches.
The enthusiasm of all who attended was evident and it was clear from the feedback that delegates left with renewed motivation and lots of ideas that they could take away and put into practise. One delegate summed up the event well by stating that they ‘have come for the last three years and it keeps getting better and better!”
Barbara Cooper, Principal of The College of Animal Welfare and Chairman of TP Congress, said “It was fantastic to see so many enthusiastic clinical coaches who are dedicated to training the next generation of veterinary nurses all come together under one roof. With the continuing nationwide shortage of qualified nursing staff, it really is up to training providers and practices to work together. Through collaborative working we can provide the training opportunities that are so desperately needed to ensure that registered veterinary nurses are available to every practice”.
Plans are already underway for TP Congress 2017 and the date will be announced shortly. In the meantime you can register your interest at www.caw.ac.uk/tpc.
