Advances in mobile phone technology, combined with the simplification of video-editing software and the adoption of video in social media, have led to an explosion in the use of the medium over the past 12 years. YouTube, which had its first video posted in April 2005, now counts over a billion users.
To help veterinary professionals gain the skills needed to make the most of this increasingly important medium, 'Video-making for social media' will teach you how to use your mobile phone to create engaging video, in particular looking at script-writing, voice-overs, editing and mixing soundtracks.
The 'Video-making for social media' course takes place in Preston, Lancashire on 17th May.
For the 'The Consulting Nurse' course, Brian Faulkner from The Colourful Consultancy and Clare Hemmings from Royal Canin will share top tips from vet consultation courses, tailored for nurses. Content, design and marketing of nurse consultations will also be considered. Clare, who worked in practice as an RVN, will take attendees through options for nurse-led clinics including weight management, animal behaviour and managing diabetes. Brian will explore common issues in nurse consultation and the communication strategies to deal with each.
'The Consulting Nurse' takes place in Newbury, Berkshire on 24th May.
