*NEW* Fully Online - Anaesthesia and analgesia in small animals: a case-based approach 

Course Description

Designed for vets working in primary care practice, this one-day course will teach the principles of anaesthesia and analgesia for our small animal patients using lectures and case-based group work. All learning material, both lectures and small-group work, will take place online. The following topics will be covered: 

• Management of acute and chronic pain, and the creation of analgesic plans 

• Local nerve blocks; theory and practical guidance 

• Pre-anaesthetic patient assessment, screening, and the creation of anaesthetic plans tailored to the needs of the individual patient 

 Learning Outcomes: 

• Develop a theoretical and practical understanding of the provision of analgesia in small animal patients. 

• Assess an individual patient's needs and health status to allow appropriate creation of an anaesthesic plan  

• Practice implementation of both of the above via case-based group work.
