Is it for you?
The veterinary profession has developed considerably since the days of James Herriot as scientific and medical advances, familiar through human medicine, have been introduced into the diagnosis and treatment of disease in animals. Holders of veterinary degrees occupy prominent positions in the pharmaceutical and agricultural industries, as well as specialised practice, using sophisticated computer models and recording systems to monitor herd health and assess disease risks at the level of individual herds and flocks, and the nation as a whole.
Such specialisation has necessitated the parallel expansion and development of paraveterinary groups, including veterinary nurses, veterinary scientists and veterinary physiotherapists, to complement and support veterinary surgeons in their promotion of animal health and welfare.
If you’re looking for a career taking care of animals within the veterinary sector or related professions, whether as a Head Nurse, a Practice Manager or within Animal Welfare, the BSc Veterinary Nursing is the programme for you. The RVC is uniquely dedicated to veterinary science and education and shares your passion for animal welfare.
