Veterinary nurses are an integral part of the veterinary team at Blythwood Vets, and are vital for the smooth running of any veterinary practice. \u00a0As well as providing expert nursing care for poorly animals, veterinary nurses also play a significant role in supporting pet owners in keeping their pets healthy.\u00a0 They carry out essential clinical work and are skilled in undertaking a range of diagnostic tests, treatments and minor surgical procedures, with veterinary support.\u00a0 Registered Veterinary Nurses have the technical knowledge and hands-on expertise to care for animals with skill and empathy.<\/p>\n
The title of Registered Veterinary Nurse (RVN) can be used by nurses who have undergone extensive training and education. Once they\u2019ve passed their final nursing exams, nurses are entered onto the VN register and are regulated by the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS). They follow the Code of Professional Conduct for Veterinary Nurses, which includes requirements to undertake Continuing Professional Development (CPD) to keep their skills up to date.<\/p>\n
At Blythwood Vets, we are extremely proud of our veterinary nurses. We have an amazing team who are dedicated to supporting our clients and their pets.\u00a0 Even during this challenging time, some of our nurses are still working in-practice helping to support emergency and urgent cases.<\/p>\n
