This book will provide a core text for veterinary nursing undergraduate students for their dissertation/ preparation for research/ undergraduate projects. There is currently no available veterinary nursing text available and the students are reliant on human nursing texts or generic research texts - neither of which are entirely appropriate for this niche sector. The book will also bridge the gap between veterinary nurses/technicians that qualified by the traditional Diploma route by allowing them to understand the process for clinical research and thus bridge the gap between the Diploma and Degree routes for veterinary nursing in terms of evidence based research.
