https://www.vetsurgeon.org/f/non-clinical-questions/11257/tp-congress If there are any clinical coaches out there, did anyone attend TP congress last week? If so what&#39;s your take on sending the nurse students out to riding stables to complete the equine NPL tasks?????? en-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/60416?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 30 Mar 2012 20:37:54 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:1387b116-0eef-46d5-80fe-f872d663d84cCatherine Hemingway<p>Well now you&#39;ve asked......</p> <p>Course was very well run, good venue, food etc</p> <p>I just have &#39;issues&#39; with what some of the speakers said but that&#39;s not a new thing! Did think the lecture about rolling out the NPL across Europe was pointless. Didn&#39;t help any clinical coaches in practice at all. &nbsp;The speaker from City and Guilds was thrown in the deep end a little. The impression we got was that they had only just started the change over process so didn&#39;t really have anything to &#39;update us&#39; with.</p> <p>The whole issue regarding equine tasks is a joke. Small animal practices have never had and will never have facilities for students to carry out equine tasks. If the colleges haven&#39;t done their maths and worked out how many horses and how much time you need to teach all the students they can&#39;t expect the small animal clinical coaches to pick up the pieces grrrrrrr.</p> <p>Apart from that really enjoyed it <img src="https://www.vetsurgeon.org/emoticons/v2/Winking_smiley.gif" alt="Wink" /></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/60174?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 28 Mar 2012 22:52:50 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:a7ef3200-322e-48c7-b4b2-93abaa27eda6Mark Hedberg<p>I did, but don&#39;t think it counts when I help run the thing. ;) we had more nurses attend than vets, might want to try the vet nurse forum or vetnurse.co.uk. That said, i&#39;m curious to hear feedback on this myself. Cheers, Mark</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
