The Veterinary Defence Society has launched the Veterinary Nurse Leadership Programme, a new course designed to help veterinary nurses in leadership roles, such as practice managers, head nurses, partners, nurse branch managers and team leaders, develop their leadership skills.

The course comprises two two-day workshops and begins by helping you understand your personal strengths and weaknesses. The course then teaches strategies for resilience, communicating with others, motivating team members, and resolving conflict. 

The VDS says that the course will enable you to create a culture that strengthens and develops your practice’s veterinary team and that enables team members to fulfil their potential.

The courses take place on the 21st-22nd March, and the 12th-13th June.
