BSAVA announces vet nurse dentistry course
The course includes an in-person event at BSAVA HQ.
The new VN Merit Award will provide 30 hours of CPD.

The British Small Animal Veterinary Association (BSAVA) has announced a new CPD course on dentistry for veterinary nurses.

The Vet Nurse Merit Award (VNMA) in Dentistry, which launches in September, will provide 30 hours of CPD for veterinary nurses in primary care practice who want to feel more confident about taking part in dental procedures.

The VNMA will cover topics including performing oral exams, obtaining and understanding dental radiographs, partaking in making anaesthesia and analgesia plans for dental treatment, correctly annotating dental charts, and identifying and maintaining dental instruments and equipment.

The programme includes an in-person event at the BSAVA’s headquarters at Woodrow House, Gloucester, as well as 10 recorded webinars and online resources such as a discussion forum.

Stacey Parker, lead speaker for the course, said: “This is suitable for all nurses in veterinary practice who are familiar with dental procedures, and there’s a huge amount of content which I’m really excited to be able to deliver as part of this new Vet Nurse Merit Award.”

The BSAVA runs a range of VNMAs, including topics such as nutrition, surgical nursing, and wound management.

Places on the VNMA in Dentistry and other courses can be booked on the BSAVA website.
