Students celebrate success in Cert VN ECC exams
Veterinary nurses from across the UK and Europe have celebrated passing their Cert VN ECC exams.
The students and their guests were invited to a special graduation ceremony at the Royal Armouries in Leeds where clinical development adviser Laura Kidd and keynote speaker Eleanor Haskey presented each of them with their gifts and certificates.
The event was held during the Vets Now ECC Congress, which is one of the biggest CPD events in the veterinary calendar.
This year, 192 vet nurses sat the final assessment for the Cert VN ECC, with 83% passing. Overall, more than 750 vet nurses have successfully gained the qualification since its launch.
