If you want to develop your knowledge of Veterinary Support so that you can embark on a rewarding career or you are already working in a related field and want to improve your career prospects, then this is the course for you.
Veterinary Support Assistants perform a number of duties such as providing support to the Veterinary Practitioner, preparing theatres and equipment, inpatient care and kennel work, receiption duties and supporting pet owners. You will particularly find this course useful if you have an interest in veterinary nursing or becoming a veterinary nurse assistant.
The Distance Learning Veterinary Support Assistant course is a fully comprehensive course and it will give you an understanding of the roles of the veterinary team and the legal and ethical system in which they work. You will gain an awareness of basic anatomy and physiology of the dog and cat and Health and Safety procedures within a veterinary practice.
The course also covers the important issue of infection control and explains the basic equipment used commonly within a practice.
With experience, you could take on more responsibility, like practice management, supervising and training new staff, or working in veterinary supplies.
You could also train to specialise in working for a zoological/wildlife park, charity, pharmaceutical company or breeding/boarding kennels.
With further study you could work towards becoming a lecturer or researcher.
