Nick, sorry for slow reply ... hmm ... just wondering about these ... I suppose the thing is whether enough people hold a given qualification (like PgCert Health Sciences) to warrant listing them in full.

I suspect they might be relatively few and far between, though, so perhaps you are right, best list FdSc, PgCert and PgDip as general qualifications (the distinction being that if they are not described in full, then they are not veterinary nursing qualifications).

I'll quickly go and add them now ...

That's fine by me that's all i wanted adding

thank you!

Under other quals can we have FdSc, PgCert, PgDip. I have two of these in different subjects other than nursing. Cheers

There you go - All SQPs added, Harper Adams added, and for good measure I've made the training establishment list alphabetical :) How's that for service?!

Hey

Would it be possible to add AMTRAs SQP onto the qualifications as well as Harper Adams University College to the education part please.

Many thanks

Working on that right away! Could I ask you in return to remove the post nominals from your name in your profile (ie now that we have them in the profile itself, just display them there, as you have).

(adding them to your surname screws up the search thing on the site!)

So .... ta da ... VetNurse Profiles are now up and running, and three cheers for Tania Ford, who I think was the first person to set up her VetNurse Profile - hope you all agree it looks great!

A few things about the new system:

a) Only visible to logged in members.

b) If you had an existing profile, those details will have been migrated to the new system, but you might like to add more info now, and update your photo with a bigger one (the old system uses smaller images and enlarges them, which makes them look a bit pixelated. If you upload a bigger one, it'll look much clearer).

c) In all our job adverts, there is an email link at the foot to email the advertiser. When you click that when NOT logged in, it creates a message headed Your job advertisement on VetNurse. Now, if you click it when you ARE logged in, the email includes a link to your VetNurse Profile (you can always delete the link if you don't want to send it, but it's a nice, easy way to apply for a job quickly).

d) I doubt I yet have all the qualifications / interests you want to display in your profile on the system. If you want something added, just post it here, or send me a PM and I'll do it.

Thanks Nick Shackleton , that's very helpful. I shall go and dig them out.

I suspect I won't get all the quals by the time of launch, so we'll have a message in there to the effect that if you cannot find a qual you want to list, contact us and we might add it (I say 'might', I can't promise to add the City and Guilds Parachuting and Skydiving Certificate)

VTS qualifications are becoming more and more common these days. There's the improved nurse Certs. Vets now ECC Cert. as well as the BSAVA merit awards.

Hi arlo

sounds really good! Personally I'm extremely proud of my city and guilds certificates in exotics and emergency and critical care so maybe proper formal qualifications like these could also be displayed?

[/quote]

Hi Raciela,

Yes, going to add the ability to show those in the qualifications section, I'm just trying to find an exhaustive list I can use!

I can't find a list of certs that City and Guilds offers (looking on their website).
