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 Veterinary Nursing (Clinical Nursing and Client Support) 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 with a special interest in advanced clinical (medical) nursing. In addition to advancing your clinical nursing knowledge and skills, the course will encourage you to suggest creative solutions to applied problems in medical nursing practice, 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 providing, monitoring and evaluating advanced medical nursing care for veterinary patients with chronic or life-limiting conditions. Realising the importance of a team approach to patient care, you'll be supported to enhance your skills in effectively communicating care plans to other members of the practice team, and in providing evidence-based support for clients.
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.
A typical offer for the Postgraduate Certificate is a Level 3 Diploma, FdSc or BSc (Hons) in Veterinary Nursing. Applicants must be a Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, Registered Veterinary Nurse or, if an international applicant, must hold equivalent qualifications.
