Student Nurses
Our student nurses attend The Lynwood School of Veterinary Nursing, which is accredited by the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons. The students work under the supervision of our qualified veterinary nurses and veterinary surgeons, learning how to provide nursing care and treatments. They are regularly assessed throughout their course via theory exams, practical exams, a work-based progress log and assignments. They are also expected to undertake several hours of private study each week.
