Emergency and Critical Care is becoming ever more advanced as a speciality with more drugs, equipment and procedures becoming available every day. While those advances can make a difference for a number of patients, a sound knowledge of the fundamentals, knowing what to do when, makes far more difference in the majority of cases. This course will focus on those fundamentals – what can be sensibly achieved in a general practice setting with a typical owner budget to maximise outcome for emergency patients.
This online course will run over four weeks. Learning materials will be a mixture of two hour weekly webinars (which can be viewed live and/or as recorded versions throughout the course), online case assessment exercises, supplementary reading material and discussion forums.
This course is aimed at general practitioners seeing small animal emergency patients in practice where finances and resources are frequently limited. It aims to provide vets with practical and streamlined approaches to cases using the resources available to them. It would also be of benefit for CertAVP candidates enrolled
on emergency and critical care modules. Participants can earn up to 16 CPD hours.
