It was good to refresh my memory on being prepared for emergency situations and look at trying to avoid
mistakes being made. The webinars were interesting and interactive.

In this online course on emergency basics, we aim to take the stress out of dealing with emergency cases. From knowing what you may be getting into seeing emergency cases out of hours, setting up for cases, reviewing the basic approach to emergencies and even learning from mishaps, this case-based course will cover what every clinician dealing with emergency should know. The last week of the course we will cover some very common emergencies and the general approach to these cases.
The course will run for four weeks and is suitable for first opinion practitioners, vets returning to practice after career breaks or those starting out on emergency duty. Learning material will be a mixture of two hour weekly webinars (which can be viewed live and/or as recorded version throughout the course), online case assessment exercises, supplementary reading material and discussion forums involving the tutors and veterinary colleagues from around the world. Participants can earn up to 16 CPD hours.
