The College of Animal Welfare is at London Vet Show 2013, exhibiting at stand N20 (next to the Business Theatre!) Stop by, pick up a Keep Cool bag, and find out more about our Leadership and Management qualifications!

Are you a practice manager, senior vet, or team leader? Do you want to be one? If you have ‘issues’ with organising your work, or handling members of your team, our ILM accredited courses will help you get the essential strategies you need to handle small teams of professionals. Learn how to handle conflict, organise work, develop your leadership skills and make that team of yours a well-oiled machine!

And it doesn’t need to cost the Earth – ask about our new Pay As You Learn scheme.

No stand is complete without a freebie and CAW is no exception! Following on from last year’s “Keep Calm and Trust Your Head Nurse” theme, we’ve got a “Keep Cool and Trust Your Head Nurse” cooler bag that will keep your lunches cool and tasty! Pick yours up at stand N20!

For those of you who are involved in nurse training, we’ve got a sneak preview of TP Congress 2014 for you! Yes, we’re back, and we’ve got a great line up of speakers and topics for Clinical Coaches working in Training Practices. If you liked what Helen, Kathy, and Pam had to say last year, they’re back with new and improved lectures, joined by quite a few special guests! We’ll have talks about nursing plans, VN education updates, setting goals, and having difficult conversations! Never been to TP Congress before? Find out what all the fuss is about – Drop by stand N20 to see what we’ve got in store for you on 17-18 March 2014!

Last but not least, we’re doing a CPD survey! We want to find out who and what you want when you do CPD with The College of Animal Welfare, so we can improve our offer! Head on over to the CAW CPD 2013 Survey to have your say!

The College of Animal Welfare is pleased to announce that applications for January 2014 (Day Release, students employed in veterinary practice) is now open. Applications for full time students to study in September 2014 will be available in the next few weeks.

We are still receiving a large number of inquiries concerning our September 2013 class enrolment. We are flattered and humbled by the continued interest, but the classes are full,  term has already begun and therefore we cannot accept further students onto this class start. Interested students are warmly welcomed to apply for the January 2014 start if you are employed in vet practice, and full time places when applications for these open in a few weeks.

We will of course have an update on our social media feeds when these applications are open.
