Veterinary Surgeon via AdvantEdge ECC Programme

Take the next step in your career with AdvantEdge

AdvantEdge, our emergency and critical care programme, is designed for Vet Surgeons with a minimum of two years’ experience in small animal or mixed practice that are now looking to cement ECC skills or boost their confidence in exploring a new career path.

Teach new emergency skills

The lectures are delivered virtually by diplomats in ECC, Internal Medicine and Surgery as well as experienced ECC Vets. The programme also features a cadaver practical and mentored shifts in-clinic. Working alongside another Vet Surgeon during this mentored period is the ideal time to put everything learned on the programme into practice prior to being sole charge.

Receive 75 hours of CPD

Many Vet Surgeons choose to join Vets Now, via AdvantEdge, to receive enhanced CPD and be motivated by our ECC experts. Learning alongside like-minded Vet Surgeons creates a culture that we’re extremely proud of, and the programme is a great way to build relationships and extend your support network of emergency Vets throughout the country.

Start dates led by you

The programme runs in May and November, but we recruit all year round for AdvantEdge Vets. We will establish what works best for you, taking into consideration your situation, to ensure the next step in your career happens in the right place and at the right time.
