Thank you so much for this!
I’ve already enquired regarding the RVC courses, and they’re running both courses again next June, so will definitely be enrolling into those!

I will certainly contact Improve International and Hartpury tomorrow about their offers

Unfortunately, currently there are no certificates in imaging for RVNs. However, there are a few courses out there.

The RVC do two courses. One is a diagnostic imaging for RVNs and one is an MRI/CT specific course. https://cpd.rvc.ac.uk/cpd-courses/ct-and-mri-for-veterinary-nurses-online

Eden Learning do a range of CT & MRI courses available. https://www.edenlearning.com/courses/veterinary-ct-mri-courses/

Improve International have made some murmurs about starting an NCert in imaging, but that was prior to covid. So, I would suggest you contact them. The more enquiries are made the more likely course providers will look into providing these kind of courses. Similarly, Harpury University are running an Advanced Cert in diagnostic imaging of equine patients. I also contacted them and they said they may consider it next year if the interest is there. https://www.hartpury.ac.uk/university/courses/postgraduate/postgraduate-certificate-in-advanced-equine-veterinary-nursing-diagnostic-imaging-and-rehabilitation/

there are a few POCUS courses out there fore nurses as well
