VNUR20340 Clinical Placement S2

Academic Year 2023/2024

This module involves a 2-week external placement in a veterinary clinical environment offered to Stage 2 Veterinary Nursing students. The module aims to continue to build on the knowledge and understanding of the role of the veterinary nurse in the veterinary practice environment established in Stage 1.

Students will continue to develop communication skills, professional behaviours and the ability to organise time. They will be provided with a list of clinical skills appropriate to their level that must be attempted by the student and signed off by their supervisors. The student will submit a reflective piece upon completion of their placement as a formative assessment.

A minimum level of attendance is required to pass this module. All assessment components must be passed.

This placement is offered in January, prior to the commencement of the Spring teaching trimester.
