Expand your skills online in Feline Nursing
The Feline Nursing Nurse Certificate (NCert), Veterinary Technician Certificate (VTCert) and Veterinary Paraprofessional (VPPCert) is designed to expand your feline nursing knowledge and skills and improving your confidence. The programme is appropriate for both general practice and referral nurses wanting to advance their nursing care of feline patients within their practice.
The emphasis throughout will be on understanding the fundamental principles of nursing feline patients and how to adapt the practice and its procedures to optimise feline care and welfare. The course will cover a range of topics and each module will focus on feline-specific considerations. The aim is for you to confidently apply the knowledge you have learnt, to promote best feline-friendly practices and to positively advocate for feline patients ensuring they receive the highest quality care.
In an entirely online course you will study eight modules on alternating months, with additional Study Skills modules to help develop your reflective skills and enable time for consolidation and revision of your learning. During the eight modules, you will benefit from online support and guidance from Module Tutors who are all highly-qualified advanced veterinary nurses specialising in the topic they are tutoring.
A unique addition to this programme is a live evening webinar for four of the taught modules, this not only provides opportunity to interact with the Module Tutor but also your peers studying the course.
Registration for the Feline Nursing programme will also include access to the RCVS Knowledge Library for the duration of the course. This resource includes access to a wealth of electronic resources including the latest journals and clinical research.
