AdvantEdge – the next step in your career

Vets Now have both full and part-time opportunities for dedicated and passionate Vet Surgeons who relish the exciting and diverse caseload emergency and critical care brings. Our recently launched AdvantEdge programme is the perfect platform for experienced Vets seeking to start a career with Vets Now. If you have at least two-years small animal or mixed practice experience, AdvantEdge will refresh some of your existing knowledge whilst also giving you the opportunity to learn new skills.  

75 hours of CPD designed by Vets for Vets

AdvantEdge contains 75 hours of free CPD designed by Vets for Vets. The lectures and practical sessions take place at our Support Office in Dunfermline and are delivered by diplomats in ECC, Internal Medicine and surgery as well as experienced ECC Vets. The programme also includes a cadaver surgery practical and six supported shifts in clinic with an experienced emergency Vet. Topics covered include;

  • Abdo and Thoracic Radiology
  • Analgesia and CRI's
  • Cardiac Emergencies
  • CPR Practical
  • Dyspnoea
  • Managing Shock
  • Neurological Emergencies
  • Toxicology

Give yourself the AdvantEdge

We’ll cover your accommodation costs whilst you are on the programme and you’ll be paid your full salary to take part. The next intake of AdvantEdge is on 18th May 2020, however, there is the option of starting in clinic prior to the programme commencing and securing your place on the course as we will give you an enhanced induction. The programme is also a great way to build relationships and extend your support network to include ECC Vets throughout the country.  Regardless if you’re looking for full time or part time work, AdvantEdge is the perfect way to kick-start a successful career with Vets Now.
