VN trip to South Africa
Plumpton College nurses study abroad

A veterinary nursing group from Plumpton College, which is based in East Sussex, travelled to South Africa in March to study and assist with animal care.

The group consisted of two lecturers from the college, which offers a wide variety of land-based courses, three qualified veterinary nurses and 11 veterinary nursing students.

During the two-week trip the group was based just outside Grahamstown, which is approximately an hour and a half away from Port Elizabeth.

As well as studying aspects of veterinary nursing, the group assisted the local Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA).

As well as helping with the care of animals residing at the centre, nurses got involved with the care of local dogs by assisting with worming, vaccinations and dipping.

According to the college, the trip was a great success for its students and is an initiative which will be repeated in the future.
