Our membership program is specifically designed for Equine Nurses seeking to elevate their skills and advance their careers with a renewed sense of confidence in their expertise. This unique initiative, fondly known as 'The Collab,' serves as a transformative educational and community platform for professional growth within our equine veterinary industry. As a member, you will benefit from a supportive network of like-minded equine nurses, and a community where experiences are shared, thoughts are freely exchanged, and challenges are discussed in a collaborative manner.
The Equine Nursing Collaborative goes beyond simply meeting your clinical CPD requirements. As a member, you not only have the opportunity to expand your clinical expertise but also cultivate a broader understanding of the latest research and industry trends, ensuring a well-rounded and forward-thinking approach to your equine nursing practice.
Each month we will focus on a different topic ie) cardiology, field anaesthesia, metabolic disease, colic etc; with a strong emphasis on the role of the equine nurse. All the educational material and resources for the month will be carefully aligned to the area of focus, allowing you to immerse yourself in the subject and significantly elevate your knowledge in that area.
Community and a sense of belonging is so critical for a fulfilling career and sustainability within our profession. By becoming a member of “The Collab”, you will be in very good company, surrounded by like-minded equine nurses, all of whom are passionate about what they do.
