Product Information

Support and assess patient recovery from anesthesia and communicate concerns to an appropriate member of the veterinary team Reflective comments are an essential part of the NPL. As well as allowing students the opportunity to reflect on each experience, good use of the reflective comments box can also prevent students from over-logging unnecessarily.

Judgements about competence should be based on performance rather than the amount of experience logged.

This module aims to provide the student veterinary nurse with a comprehensive insight into the normal structure and functions of the major body systems of dogs and cats. The student should also develop the practical skills necessary to identify visually, or by palpation, the key anatomical features and landmarks required in day to day nursing practice of dogs and cats. This unit will provide underpinning knowledge to aid in developing appreciation of how disruption to normal physiology relates to disease and influences the provision of holistic nursing care. This will facilitate the student’s ability to develop appropriate nursing skills in the practice situation, which is intrinsic within both the course philosophy and its structures. Anatomy, Physiology and Preventative Health CareAPRN roles must also complete in-person clinical hours and pass a certification exam in the area of specialization The requirements incorporate knowledge, skills and behaviours and ensure veterinary nurses are safe and competent to practise on day one, as follows: 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?
