About the CPD course
This course gives you a firm grounding with essential skills such as animal handling and restraint; pet psychology; recognizing pain; and working as part of a veterinary team - as well as an understanding of anatomy and physiology; and first aid. The Veterinary Support Assistant (VSA) is a highly capable member of the veterinary team; trained informally within the practice. A VSA is responsible for many crucial jobs within the clinic; such as ensuring good hygiene and sterility; handling animals; and interfacing with clients. Many VSAs use the opportunity to gain experience and go on to be Vet Technicians.
