Progressive Poultry Training
The Minster Veterinary Practice has created a training department to research, create and deliver the training to meet the needs of staff in all departments and practice clients.
RDPE Landskills Programme
MVP Training has secured funding from the RDPE LANDSKILLS programme for England to deliver much needed training into the poultry sector of the UK. Training in the Yorkshire, Humberside and North Lincolnshire region started in the Summer of 2008. Training in the North East region started in March 2009. We have recently been successful in recieving funding for both the East and West Midlands with training courses to commence in October 2009. We also hopes to extend this training to other parts of the country. The department also intends to create and co-ordinate training courses in other areas of the livestock sector in the future, utilising expertise within the different departments of the practice.
