Nurses Certificate in Anaesthesia
In collaboration with Harper Adams University, the Nurses Certificate (NCerts) in Anaesthesia provides a modular training programme to enhance your skills and utilise these in practice. In addition the certificate carries 40 academic credits which may be used towards a high future award.
Veterinary anaesthesia and analgesia have advanced significantly during recent years. This course will review the latest anaesthetic and monitoring equipment, the selection of key anaesthetic and analgesic agents, techniques for safe anaesthesia and effective analgesia in dogs, cats, equines and exotics. The course will help increase confidence in this vital area of veterinary nursing.
Anaesthetic considerations for specific conditions I
