The College of Animal Welfare is delighted to announce that five students including Linsey Newlove, Kathryn Holmes and Natasha Hodgson have become the first students to achieve the City & Guilds Level 2 Certificate in Assisting Veterinary Surgeons in the Monitoring of Animal Patients Under Anaesthesia and Sedation qualification.

Speaking of the success, course tutor, Emma Drummond said “I would like to congratulate all of the successful students on their hard work throughout the programme”. She continued “Both students and their veterinary surgeon mentors felt that the course deepened their understanding of assisting with the monitoring of anaesthesia, increased their knowledge of the various elements of the anaesthesia process and enabled them to develop more thorough protocols in practice”.

This new, nationally-recognised qualification is aimed at those working in a veterinary care assistant role, involved with assisting veterinary surgeons with the monitoring of companion animals under anaesthesia and sedation. It covers areas such as the preparation of animals prior to anaesthesia, assisting with the induction and maintenance of sedation or anaesthesia, selection and correct use of equipment and care of the patient during recovery.

Successful student, Linsey Newlove, said ‘I found the course improved my confidence. It gave me ideas for improvements which could be made and these have now been incorporated into the practice”.
