Issues surrounding human resources and nurse consultations will be addressed by two new regional CPD workshops announced by SPVS and the VPMA.
Held in partnership with Zoetis and Royal Canin, the courses – “Appraisals and recruitment” and “The consulting nurse” – will take place in May.
Hosted by Margaret Burnside of leadership and management specialist company Eras, “Appraisals and recruitment” will take place on 17 May in Preston.
According to organisers, the course will benefit vets, VNs and practice managers with a responsibility for recruiting and retaining staff as it will provide “useful tools and tips” on how to have more productive appraisal meetings.
Mrs Burnside will explore how to find, attract and select the best candidate.
On 18 May in Scotland, Royal Canin’s Clare Hemmings and Brian Faulkner from The Colourful Consultancy will host “The consulting nurse”.

Miss Hemmings, meanwhile, will offer a range of options for nurse clinics, including:
BVNA members will be offered discounted member rates at this event.
