We offer classroom courses, e-learning or a combination of both (blended). You can attend courses, which run all over the country, or we can come to you.
We do ask that students only attempt those tasks for which they have covered the underpinning knowledge for at university, as this underpinning knowledge will ultimately form part of their overall competency. These updates are part of the revision of the Day-one Skills for veterinary nurses for which an open consultation was held in the summer of 2015. The new skills are designed to be in closer alignment with the revised Day-one Competences, and to make the required skills more relevant to clinical practice. Whilst this new version of the NPL contains a reduced number of tasks, the actual requirements for completing some tasks are quite considerable. In our experience students can find this confusing, so guidance from the clinical coach regarding task expectations, (based on the case load in your practice) may need to be clarified. To help students prepare for their practical training, we have provided them with an induction form for use with the clinical coach at their first meeting. Students have been asked to complete the first section of this which provides the clinical coach with details about the students learning and any NPL tasks in which they have previous experience. We hope that this assists clinical coaches in the early planning stages and getting started with the NPL.The patient’s temperament - you’ll need to be able to demonstrate to your clinical coach that over time you are competent at handling a range of temperaments. Also mention if any restraint aids such as towels or muzzles were used.
The student does not need to log anymore experiences for disposing of anatomical waste. Focus should be on disposing of a variety of other different types of waste, not yet covered. In their first year, students will cover the underpinning knowledge to enable them to start the following tasks: Section NPL e-Learning courses available, includes modules covering General Measurement science applications, Dimensional Measurement and a range of Specialist Measurement courses across a variety of applications. Course modules provide participants with the opportunity to develop or extend their industry-applicable skills – across metrology, measurement and testing, and calibration in both general and specialist applications. As well as introducing the new professional behaviour assessment tool, it has been agreed that the practical placement hours requirement would be reduced from 2,100 to 1,800, calculated as 35 hours per week over one year, and would therefore comply with current HMRC National Minimum Wage requirements.This was my 1 st jugular blood sample on a cat. I managed OK, but I need more practice in knowing where to clip, as I initially clipped in the wrong place The clinical coach is expected to liaise with staff members to ask them to act as a witness and what this will involve for the relevant skill(s). This may include discussion and/or provision of written information regarding the skill guidance and skill expectations in line with the practice case load. How should use of witnesses be logged in the NPL? Once you gain access to your NPL you will be able to use the next available case to open the skill and sign it off. This could potentially be done in the same day providing you have sufficient, valid evidence in your written/electronic record to support this when audited by either CAW staff or the awarding body. I feel comfortable restraining any dog, of any temperament for any procedure, and my earlier experiences show this. I now need to build my confidence and focus on cats I have just started monitoring anaesthetics and was really nervous. There were no problems with the anaesthetic (ASA risk 1) and the vet was really helpful in giving me some hints and tips. I am looking forward to monitoring more anaesthetics over the coming week.
Students will have had practical tutorials in basic experience relating to these tasks. For example, students will have been taught how to set up IV fluids, but will not have covered placing an IV cannula.

Analysis for Innovators (A4I) enables innovation and improves productivity and competitiveness for UK businesses. It is led by Innovate UK, in partnership with NPL and other laboratories. This popular funding programme is launching its eighth round and has so far funded more than 270 projects. In making the decision regarding student competence, the clinical coach will then liaise with the relevant witness(es) and reach a decision regarding overall task competence which should then be recorded in their decision of competence. Do witnesses need to write up formal witness statements?
