A one-day course suitable for qualified veterinary nurses in general practice and referral centres – learn how 'FAST' ultrasound scanning can help you triage and support your emergency and critical patient by becoming adept at POCUS (Point of Care Ultrasound), AFAST™ and TFAST™.
This highly practical scanning course will help you triage those emergency patients that come in when the vet is already busy.
Delegate numbers are capped at nine, to ensure a high quality learning experience.
This course would also be suitable for candidates working towards a Nurse Certificate in Emergency and Critical Care.
Digital course notes, refreshments, and lunch will be provided.
