Dr Andrea Jeffery was appointed as Chief Nursing Officer in 2019. She subsequently set up the Veterinary Nursing Central Support team in order to support and deliver the Linnaeus Veterinary Nurse strategy.
The Veterinary Nursing Central Support team is here to ensure that Linnaeus has a veterinary nursing population which is supported and developed in order to reach its full potential in its ability to deliver the best possible nursing care.
This will be achieved by providing a career framework which facilitates the skill set development of the veterinary nursing population throughout their entire career.
In order to ensure that all of those in our nursing teams have job satisfaction there are eight areas of focus:
Building on the key challenges facing veterinary nursing, four strategic priorities have been identified to allow Linnaeus to nurture a veterinary nursing population which is supported and developed in order to reach its full potential:
Operational support – Working collaboratively with senior managers across Linnaeus, to achieve full utilisation and improve efficiencies in our nursing teams
Pre-registration experience management – Creating exceptional and highly supportive experiences for our patient care assistants and student veterinary nurses (FE and HE), in order for them to be trained and fully utilised with clear pathways for career progression
Post Registration programmes - Establishing a formalised post registration programme to support newly qualified registered veterinary nurses moving into jobs in our specialist referral centres
Professional development - Supporting primary care and referral nurses to achieve their full development potential through the provision of tools to optimise the use of their skills and abilities throughout their careers
