Courses for Veterinary Nurses

This short, 2 webinar, free of charge course gives you a taster of the Certificate in Veterinary Nurse Consulting: CertNCS(RVN Cons).

You will get a feel for the style of delivery via some of the text and the webinars.

The CertNCS (RVN Cons) is a non-clinical skills certificate in consulting for veterinary nurses.

This in-depth course, delivered through a combination of webinars, course work, assessments and workshops, provides 100 hours of learning and is expected to take about a year to complete.  It will provide veterinary nurses with the full range of key skills to enable them to run and deliver consultations confidently and effectively, for the benefit of the animals, their owners and the practice. 

On successful completion of this course, veterinary nurses will be entitled to use the post-nominals, CertNCS (RVN Cons).

This 5-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 offers suggestions for consulting opportunities that may be available in veterinary practices and provides the key skills necessary for veterinary nurses to deliver an effective consulting service.

The course provides 3 hours of CPD.

This online only course includes much of the online teaching from the full CertNCS (RVN Cons).  It will provide Veterinary nurses with in depth knowledge and skills necessary to run successful nurse consulting sessions, without formal assessment or course work.  Nurses studying this course will not achieve the accredited certificate by completing it though they can choose to 'upgrade' to the full certificate should they wish. 

The course equates to 15 hours CPD

The webinars in this course are relevant to any veterinary nurses who would like to develop their confidence and learn to manage the typical day to day stresses that we experience in everyday veterinary practice more effectively. 

The same principles apply to all roles in life and are equally as useful for helping develop your colleagues and even your kids’ confidence as they are in developing your own.

The sessions will cover the psychology of the various types of confidence, as well as looking at things that undermine our confidence in the first place, as it is essential that we understand and tackle those if we hope to build genuine confidence, instead of papering over the cracks.  The ways that we can be affected by stress will also be covered and we’ll explore the subject of resilience, clarifying what it is and how we can develop it. 

All of this will help delegates to feel better able to cope with, and recover from, the challenges and set-backs that are a normal part of life both within and outside veterinary practice.
