Rural Veterinary Technology DipHE

The role of the veterinary technician is vital for supporting veterinary surgeons and adding to the natural economy of Scotland and filling the current skills gap. The first course of its kind in the country, the Diploma of Higher Education will give students the skills and knowledge for supporting and improving animal welfare and production. Students will understand the role within the natural economy and how their work will benefit farmers and the wider community. <br/><br/>Veterinary Technicians are a relatively new addition to the Vet-Led team and now perform many procedures which are essential in maintaining the health and welfare of farm animals and horses, as delegated by the Veterinary surgeon and authorised by the RCVS.
