Nurses Certificate in Anaesthesia
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, Accidents and Emergencies

Veterinary anaesthesia and analgesia have advanced significantly during recent years. This programme 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 programme will help increase confidence in this vital area of veterinary nursing.

In collaboration with Harper Adams University, the Nurses Certificate (NCerts) in Anaesthesia provides an excellent 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.

There are naturally some important differences when planning anaesthesia in both equine and exotic species. This module will cover the different drugs and techniques available for both the horse and also common ‘exotic’ species.

Have an overview of equine anaesthesia: the horse as an anaesthetic candidate

Know of special considerations, techniques and advice for anaesthesia in other species including: birds, reptiles, ferrets, rabbits and other small mammals
