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).

Whilst veterinary practice is often a thrilling and enjoyable environment to work in, it is also an emotionally unsettling environment. This is because delivering veterinary service and care incorporates many of the themes that lead to unsettled emotional weather, a state otherwise known as dysphoria. Like unsettled weather patterns, feelings of dysphoria are inevitable – and indeed beneficial – at least to some degree. Similarly, they can pass quickly or hang around for longer than is comfortable and even become as established as an adverse climate of compromised mental health.
This webinar is kindly sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim and took place live in May 2021 in support of Mental Health Awareness Week (10-16th May).

This course is relevant to anyone who finds the ‘people-management’ part of veterinary practice uncomfortable.
Many managers tolerate unexpected or undesired colleague behaviour for too long and allow molehills to turn into mountains which could have been resolved by ‘Having a quiet word’ earlier. At the same time we don’t want to jump down people’s throat’s for every misdemeanour; the challenge is to deal with issues proportionally – and informally.
The webinars will look at how we can prevent frustrating behaviour using many of the day-to-day management processes that represent a 'soft' approach to learning and development. We will also cover why various personality types are better at having – and receiving - a quiet word if needed. We will look at how to have a difficult conversation but in a constructive manner and how to decide if, when, and how to escalate your approach to a more formal disciplinary process.
This course represents 3.5 hours of CPD. A certificate is available to download upon completion.
Every veterinary practice needs to achieve 4 outcomes:
Each of the 4 roles (vets, nurses, receptionists and management) within practice needs to contribute to these outcomes in different ways.
This session will look at 5 things that every role in veterinary practice needs to know and do in order for this to happen.
Please note: this webinar originally took place as a live event on Thursday 14th January 2021.
