About the course
This new programme recognises the role of an animal healthcare assistant as distinct from a veterinary nurse or a veterinary technician. All those roles form an important part of the veterinary healthcare team and it’s been designed to create a solid training pathway for those wanting a career as an Animal Healthcare Assistant. The role of an Animal Healthcare Assistant is to support Veterinary Nurses, Veterinarians in veterinary practices.
