Local anaesthetic techniques are potentially the most effective analgesia for many small animal surgeries, yet they are often underused in general practice. This course will provide a comprehensive insight into the common local anaesthetic drugs and blocks used which a competent veterinary nurse can administer under Schedule 3.
This course is suitable for both veterinary nurses and veterinary surgeons wishing to update their knowledge of local anaesthetic techniques and those who are studying further qualifications in anaesthesia.
Digital course notes, lunch and refreshments will be provided.
