Abstract
The RCVS Code of Conduct outlines the terms under which veterinary nurses must practice. One responsibility requires that registered veterinary nurses must give adequate care in order to provide the best standards of welfare for their patients. Given that significant numbers of welfare problems can be related to behaviour-related problems, it can be argued that there should be a greater focus on behaviour during clinics in order to promote a better quality of life for patients.
