Hi! I just completed an online e-cpd course with the RVC all about bunnies. I imagine they will be running one again soon. It was quite expensive but worth it! having the forum on there to discuss cases and work together was great! I learnt so many tips and tricks to help out with daily life too. I am also the 'bunny nurse' in my practice! As long as every practice has one we should be able to spread the word about rabbit care between us! I'm also looking into doing the new Burgess/BVNA accredited one next.

I've been having a look at the RVC course and trying to work out which would be more useful, that or the Burgess course. So far I have sided with the RVC course (assuming that they run it again), but I'm not sure if that is because I am assuming that as it costs more that it will be better. Did you find that it covered a lot that wasn't included in your nurse training, as I really want to move on a stage? Also, how did you find the workload for the course?

If you read this thread:

It has the contact details for finding out about the course. It used to be run through Telford College as a distance learning thing but now Simon Girling is running it himself.

Thanks for the link to the webinar's, those will be really useful. Who are you doing your course through, I would be interested in having a look at it as it sounds like it could be useful?

I am doing the veterinary nursing of exotic species course that was written by Simon Girling. It has a section on small furries and gives you a qualification at the end. Not specifically rabbit related but may be of interest to you.
