At Vets Now, we are committed to the development of the next generation of the veterinary profession. That’s why we heavily invest in our induction programmes to support new Vet Surgeons in discovering a route into emergency practice. With CPD-led training, Cutting Edge is designed for Vet Surgeons looking to take their first steps into ECC and will equip you with the skills and confidence needed to thrive in emergency practice.

 

We invest in your development with 300 hours of free CPD

Delivered by world renowned experts in their field over a ten-week period, Cutting Edge combines lectures, interactive seminars, practical training and surgery including the opportunity to work alongside experienced ECC clinicians for four weeks. The next programme runs on 7th March 2022  spaces always fill up fast! Cutting Edge is a great way for you meet your peers and share knowledge, in addition to expanding your support network of ECC clinicians. Topics covered are both clinical and professional and include but are not limited to:

  • Approach to cardiac emergencies
  • Approach to neurological emergencies
  • Approach to reproductive emergencies
  • Approach to respiratory distress
  • Approach to toxicology
  • Approach to trauma

Maximise your work life balance

Upon completion of the training programme, you will work a 40-hour week over an average of 3 shifts, ideal for maximising a work-life balance. The rota includes a share of weekday nights, weekends, bank holidays and no more than three shifts in a row. Vets Now handles the largest emergency and critical care caseload in Europe and you will see a diverse range of both medical and surgical cases - an ideal opportunity for development and learning beyond the Cutting Edge programme.
