The RCVS has launched a newsletter for those involved with veterinary nurse education and training.

The title - VN Education - replaces VN Standard, the newsletter from RCVS Awards, the College's awarding body. It focuses on the regulatory aspects of all veterinary nurse education, including both vocational and undergraduate training.

Libby Earle, RCVS Head of Veterinary Nursing said: "The new title marks a change in focus, as we wind down the RCVS awarding body and withdraw from awarding vocational qualifications.

"Our core focus is now the quality assurance of all those qualifications leading to registration with the RCVS, and VN Education aims to keep people up to date on regulatory and quality assurance issues."

VN Education will be published three times a year to those involved in veterinary nurse education, and can also be downloaded from www.rcvs.org.uk/publications. The first issue will be distributed towards the end of January.
