A new AMTRA Council has been elected and met earlier this year. The Council is a unique body of SQP expertise, that AMTRA said it is incredibly proud of.
Stephen Dawson, AMTRA chief executive, said: “There was lots of constructive discussion about AMTRA’s plans for the year ahead, which includes refining the content of the syllabus and training manual, and a new examination format to enhance the student journey and make it even smoother.
AMTRA Council gave positive feedback on the seven CPD modules currently available on the AMTRA website, and there was further discussion about the need to promote better understanding of the role of the SQP to customers.
The AMTRA Council consists of:
- Stephen Dawson, AMTRA chief executive;
- Hillary Cowley AMTRA, deputy chief executive;
- Lesley Cooper, AMTRA administrator;
- John Blackwell, AMTRA deputy chair;
- Michael Seals, AMTRA chair;
- Stella Kendall, Pets at Home, Companion Animal SQP;
- Pam Mosedale, AMTRA assessor;
- Gary Whyte, McCaskie Farm Supplies, Farm SQP;
- George Aspey, Harper Adams University;
- Ally Anderson, BVA representative;
- Lee Grist, head of the distribution and supply chain at the VMD; and
- Leah Spiers, Farm SQP.
AMTRA said it would be keen to hear from any further SQPs from the companion, equine and veterinary practice sectors who would be interested in supporting the work of the Council.
