Product Description
This is the standard textbook for veterinary nurse training in the UK and Australia! As Veterinary Nursing expands as a profession and moves towards self-regulation, it is clear that an expectation of increasing excellence and high standards will follow as a matter of course. Practice that is based on a systematic body of knowledge, recognition by the public and a code of ethics regulating Veterinary Nurses will form the basis for the future of veterinary nursing. Comprehensive training thus becomes more important than ever and the integration of theory, research and practice to form a basis for best practice is now regarded as the norm. "Veterinary Nursing" remains the only comprehensive textbook that covers the entire S/NVQ syllabus for veterinary nursing, and this new edition has been structured to link with the new Occupational Standards and to reflect the changes in the structure of Veterinary Nurse training. The third edition aptly incorporates a new chapter, covering the basics of law, highlighting some of the non-clinical issues that should be considered by the newly qualified Veterinary Nurse, as well as having expanded and updated chapters in all other areas.
