About this course

This brand-new online nurse course will cover the basics of field anaesthesia to ensure you are fully equipped to accompany a vet to perform field castrations and anaesthesia. We will cover the legalities of Schedule 3, the drugs used in field anaesthesia procedures and how to record them, equipment required and how to prepare and monitor your patient. You will leave the course feeling more confident to attend such cases and be able to play a key role in patient care throughout the process.

Two weeks prior to the course you will be given access to pre-learning resources which will lay the foundation for the live day.
