Course overview

RCVS accredited

Develop your specialism as an advanced nursing practitioner in your chosen field while enhancing your skills and knowledge. Our Postgraduate Certificate in Advanced Equine Veterinary Nursing (Diagnostic Imaging and Rehabilitation) focuses on areas of clinical interest and mapping out individual pathways for career progression.

Flexible learning

This course is ideal for those wanting to combine working in practice with studying for an advanced qualification. All compulsory delivery is flexible and online, with optional study days at weekends providing opportunities to access our world-class facilities and meet with fellow students and staff face-to-face. The course can be tailored to fit around your existing commitments, with options to complete in one year or spread out over two/three years.

Enhance your expertise

The course has been designed for veterinary nurses in equine practice with a special interest in equine veterinary diagnostics, and in rehabilitation of equine patients. In addition to advancing your equine diagnostics and patient rehabilitation knowledge and skills, the course will encourage you to suggest creative solutions to applied problems in equine diagnostic imaging and rehabilitation, even in cases of incomplete evidence or uncertainty, while acknowledging professional responsibility.

You'll be supported to set aspirational individual and team goals, and to supervise others to achieve these. This course will develop your approach to preparing equine patients for a range of appropriate diagnostic imaging modalities and will help you to enhance your skills in communicating effectively with those responsible for patient care. You'll be supported to develop skills in providing, monitoring, and evaluating rehabilitation techniques in practice for equine patients with musculoskeletal disorders.

Professional learning environment

You’ll benefit from the expertise of our professional veterinary nursing team, whose research interests include veterinary professional ethics and law, equine intensive care, behaviour and rehabilitation, and end-of-life care for animal patients. At Hartpury, you’ll join an inclusive, supportive and welcoming learning community that will help you to develop as an advanced practitioner.
