At the start of my veterinary nurse training I am learning a spectrum of practical skills needed for the care and treatment of the animal patients. Alongside this work placement I am attending Duchy College Rosewarne two days a week. First year study provides the theory to underpin the practical skills and includes nursing, health, anatomy and behaviour.

My role involved supporting the Occupational Therapy Team with home discharge planning, interviewing patients for background information to assist with discharge planning, ordering & provision of specialist equipment, liaising with multi-disciplinary teams, using computer systems.
