Research

You will be encouraged to undertake challenging and innovative research as part of your course. Previous student projects include:

• Does obesity in canines affect the rate of recovery after an anaesthesia?

• Comparing the effectiveness of warming methods used in anaesthesia to improve clinical practice.

• Do veterinary professionals and the general public percieve clinical signs of Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome (BOAS) to be “Normal” for the Breed?

The facility is equipped to represent a contemporary veterinary practice which allows students to gain a realistic experience in a work setting with radiography, theatre and consultation facilities to relate their theory work to relevant practical elements of their future careers.

Fitness To Practise

Applicants for registration must demonstrate their fitness to practise through their conduct, health and performance. The Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons’ Code of Professional Conduct for Veterinary Nurses 2012 details the ‘fitness to practise’ requirements for Veterinary Nurses.

Professional Responsibilities 3.1 states that Veterinary Nurses must take reasonable steps to address adverse physical or mental health or performance that could impair fitness to practise; or, that results in harm, or a risk of harm, to animal health or welfare, public health or the public interest.
