Like I said before I did the old style diploma which is either surgical or medical (being the elective modules) plus radiography and anaesthesia (being compulsory)!

Not far from us then, plus there is Liverpool uni not too far away. We have visiting MRI weekly plus CT once if not twice a month.

Provided my casebooks pass my exams are early jan and then practicals/orals in march!

You should get in touch with Burgess Dianostics (mobile CT/MRI) They might let you go out with one of their radiographers. Where are you based???

decided to do the dip avn at my current practice but depending on what modules i choose i will need to get experiance at others practices as we dont have mri,ct etc so thought that may get me known to other practices. when are your exams?

As well as the texts Nick's mentioned, I found the Textbook of Veterinary Medical Nursing very useful:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Textbook-Veterinary-Medical-Nursing/dp/0750651717

as well as the BSAVA Manual of Advanced Veterinary Nursing which has now been updated:

I'm doing the old style diploma, but books I found useful are as follows:

Anaesthesia:

Radiography:

The BSAVA manual is good, altou not available any more, so check with the vets at work, one of them might have a copy.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Radiography-Veterinary-Technology-Lisa-Lavin/dp/1416031898/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1258533034&sr=8-2

Didn't do the medicine module, so one of the others on here might be able to point you in the right direction! You got a new job yet????

Hi Laura,

There are a few of the members here doing the same, though possibily the degree? Anyway, maybe send a pm to either STRVN or Nick Shackleton?

Hope this helps
