About this course

The phone rings and an emergency is on its way. Are you and the team prepared?

Many nurses find emergency work challenging and overwhelming, but it can be exhilarating and rewarding with a good team and forward thinking. This course is aimed at qualified veterinary nurses who wish to expand and further their knowledge of working with emergency and critical care patients. The course will refresh your knowledge of specific key areas including preparation of the clinic and team, common emergency presentations and how to nurse the hospitalised critical patient. The key elements of each topic will be discussed so that you can take ideas and tips away to implement in your clinic.

Why do this course? 
You will increase your confidence in relation to the emergency patient journey. You will review how to set up an emergency service, how to maximise what you already have in your practice, understand the nurse’s role in emergency presentations and key issues relevant to nursing the critical patient.
