Description
Endorsed and published in association with the British Veterinary Nursing Association, this comprehensive text covers the entire syllabus
of the new course and provides a thorough grounding in the basics of veterinary nursing. The chapters are written by authors with expertise
in their subject areas and a number of them are examiners and lecturers on Animal Nursing courses throughout the UK. This is the only
textbook written specifically for the Animal Nursing Assistant qualification. It includes self-assessment questions and answers, which
provides an ideal means for students to evaluate their progress. Written with the examination and assessment stages in mind, the authors
have used clear diagrams, lists of key points and learning objectives to reinforce important areas and to aid examination recall. Endorsed
and published in association with the British Veterinary Nursing Association, this is the only textbook needed to pass this qualification.
