Elevate Your Expertise with Comprehensive Training in Veterinary Anaesthesia 

The NAdvCert Learning Programme in Anaesthesia provides in-depth education on advanced veterinary anaesthesia topics. It includes advanced emergent populations, patient safety, and a module on advanced respiratory anaesthesia. Monthly mentoring sessions also foster a sense of community within the veterinary anaesthesia field, enhancing expertise and building valuable networks for addressing complex challenges in practice. This program is a comprehensive and collaborative initiative for veterinary nurses and paraprofessionals aiming to advance their anaesthesia knowledge.

 

What you’ll learn... 

  • Respiratory management, encompassing ventilation principles, techniques evaluation, spirometry, and arterial blood gas analysis. Delegates learn to recognise candidates for intermittent positive pressure ventilation (IPPV) and set ventilation settings. 

  • The association between anaesthetic choices and surgical site infections. Critically appraise evidence, examine the impact of propofol, and address environmental concerns. Considerations for oncology diagnostics, para-neoplastic syndromes, and the peri-anaesthetic aspects of radiotherapy are also covered. 

  • Look into on-technical skills, ethics, and practical considerations. Delegates delve into problem-solving approaches, ethical considerations in anaesthesia, obtaining consent, and effective communication of anaesthetic risks to owners. The module also covers record-keeping, data completion methods, and identifying common complications. 

  • Learn about managing additional complications, techniques for overcoming challenges in obese patients, and considerations for specific cardiovascular conditions. 

  • Gain insights into corneal damage during anaesthesia, neuro-muscular blockade, and the 'oculo-cardiac reflex.' The module concludes by summarising American Animal Hospital Association guidelines for small animal anaesthesia. 

 

Why choose this programme? 

  • The registration for the Advanced Anaesthesia Online Learning programme will also include one year access to the RCVS Knowledge Library. The RCVS Knowledge library includes access to a wealth of electronic resources including the latest journals and clinical research. 

  • The course fosters connections within the veterinary anaesthesia community. This networking opportunity can lead to the exchange of ideas, experiences, and valuable professional relationships. 

 

Understanding pre-requisites 

Although no prerequisite is required to join the Nurse Advanced Certificate and achieve its associated ISVPS qualification, it is strongly recommended that delegates considering enrolling in the programme: 

  • Have previously achieved an ISVPS NCert in Anaesthesia Nursing (or its academic equivalent) *, or 

  •  Have 5+ year's experience in general practice as a Veterinary Nurse. So that you are confident in your knowledge of common surgical procedures and have an appreciation of resource material from where further research can be undertaken into more unusual conditions and/or situations. An understanding of normal anatomy and physiology, and how these impact on the pathogenesis and surgical treatment of various conditions will be expected.
