The BSAVA has launched a new Vet Nurse Merit Award (VNMA) in Dentistry, starting in September 2024.

The Vet Nurse Merit Award courses are designed for RVNs in primary care practice.

The VNMA in Dentistry offers 30 hours of CPD and will help delegates feel confident in:

• Identifying abnormalities in the mouth and performing oral exams under anaesthesia and conscious.
• Being able to obtain dental radiographs and understand them.
• Making anaesthesia and analgesia plans for dental treatment.
• Correctly annotating a dental chart and safely scaling and polishing teeth.
• Maintaining and identifying dental instrumentation and equipment.

The programme consists of 10 recorded webinar sessions and an online resource which includes a discussion forum for delegates to connect.

A practical attendance course will take place at Woodrow House, Gloucester, which will give delegates the chance to meet colleagues who have been studying at the same time and get hands on experience in various practical sessions. 

Fees for the VNMA are £570.00 for BSAVA members and £840.00 for non-members.
