The College of Animal Welfare is delighted to announce VN Times as the official sponsor of TP Congress 2017.

TP Congress is the largest event of its kind, providing two days of CPD dedicated to clinical coaches and those involved in the training of student veterinary nurses. This year’s event is being held on the 20 and 21 March 2017 and is set to return to the popular venue of Whittlebury Hall Hotel and Spa, near to the iconic Silverstone circuit, in Northamptonshire.

A range of topics will help clinical coaches inspire and get the best out of their students, whilst balancing both their clinical nursing role and coaching responsibilities in practice; no mean feat! Lectures will look at learning styles, getting creative with case simulations, assignment writing, succeeding at OSCEs, time and stress management, and much more!

Short Course and Events Manager at The College of Animal Welfare, Tracey Croucher, said “We are delighted to be working with the VN Times team to continue to build on the success of TP Congress. Clinical coaches play such an important role in shaping the next generation of qualified veterinary nurses, but the role can often be demanding, particularly for those new to a coaching role. This event provides, not only 12 hours of meaningful CPD, but allows delegates to network with other clinical coaches who are all facing similar challenges”.

Registration for the congress is now open. An agenda and booking information can be found online at www.caw.ac.uk/tpc or by calling 01480 422060. Delegates who book before 31 January 2017 will be able to take advantage of the early bird discount.
