Veterinary Nurse Consulting: Core Principles

This 8-webinar series is aimed at veterinary nurses who are keen to begin to include consulting within their clinical role.  It is equally relevant for those veterinary nurses already doing some consulting who would like to expand this or improve their confidence.  The course is a short introduction to consulting; it provides the key skills necessary for veterinary nurses to deliver an effective consulting service, focusing on some of the most common areas with which veterinary nurses are involved and considering how veterinary nurse run consultations can (and should) be charged.

The course includes 2 bonus webinars from Hills that look at how veterinary nurses can incorporate nutrition within their consults as well as how they can help to manage overweight pets.

The course provides 5 hours of CPD and is accredited by ANCVA.

What Our Clients Say

“I enjoyed this introduction to nurse consulting so much, I would happily invest in the full price certificate level. I think it would be really helpful in clinics that want to get nurse consulting off the ground, and add value to those already doing it.”

“I found the webinar on legalities and Schedule 3 in relation to RVNs fantastic and informative. It set my mind at ease when it comes to consulting and knowing we are operating within our legal limits. I also liked the examples of the type of phrases and language we could use when detecting abnormalities and referring them to a vet in order to ensure that we don't get accused of ‘diagnosing’ something we shouldn't.”
