The First Ten Minutes of the Trauma Patient
Duration60 minutes
Best suited to
General-practice veterinarians, emergency veterinarians, interns and veterinary nurses working with emergency patients
The early management of trauma can feel chaotic, particularly when several injuries compete for attention. This webinar provides a structured approach to recognising and treating the problems most likely to cause preventable deterioration or death.
Participants will learn how to
Shock Without Guesswork
Duration60 minutes
Best suited to
General-practice veterinarians, emergency veterinarians, interns, and registrars
Shock is not a single diagnosis, and blood pressure alone does not tell us whether tissue perfusion is adequate. This webinar gives clinicians a practical framework for recognising, classifying, and treating shock while avoiding reflexive or excessive fluid administration.
Participants will learn how to
Respiratory Distress: Treat Before You Diagnose
Duration60 minutes
Best suited to
Veterinarians and veterinary nurses in general practice, urgent care, and emergency hospitals
The distressed respiratory patient rarely tolerates a slow or highly diagnostic approach. This webinar focuses on rapid localisation, low-stress assessment and the immediate treatments that can be provided before a definitive diagnosis is available.
Participants will learn how to
Acid–Base Without Tears
Duration60 minutes
Best suited to
General-practice veterinarians, emergency veterinarians, interns, residents, and veterinary nurses with an interest in advanced monitoring
Blood-gas and acid–base results can provide valuable information, but only when clinicians can translate the numbers into a useful treatment plan. This webinar teaches a repeatable and clinically focused approach to interpreting blood gases.
Participants will learn how to
Why Good Clinicians Make Mistakes
Duration60 minutes
Best suited to
Veterinarians, veterinary nurses, clinical leaders, hospital managers, and mixed clinical teams
Veterinary errors are rarely explained by a simple lack of knowledge. Interruptions, cognitive overload, task fixation, communication failures, and poorly designed systems can all affect clinical performance. This webinar introduces the practical application of human-factors principles within veterinary emergency practice.
Participants will learn how to
How to Run an M&M Meeting That Improves Care
Duration60 minutes
Best suited to
Clinical directors, emergency and critical care specialists, senior veterinarians, nurse leaders, and hospital managers
Morbidity and mortality meetings can become unstructured case discussions, defensive reviews, or exercises in hindsight. This webinar explains how to create an M&M process that supports learning, accountability, and measurable improvement.
Participants will learn how to
Ready Sessions
One-hour interactive sessions delivered within your hospital
Ready Sessions are small-group, in-person education sessions designed around active participation rather than passive lecture delivery. Sessions may include case discussion, decision exercises, equipment review, team communication practice, or facilitated analysis of an existing hospital process.
Trauma Case Huddle
Duration60 minutes
Format Interactive case discussion
Best suited to
Groups of veterinarians or mixed veterinary and nursing teams
Participants work through an evolving trauma case in real time. New clinical information is introduced in stages, requiring the group to prioritise assessment, treatment, team roles, and communication.
The session covers
Blood Gas Case Rounds
Duration60 minutes
Format Facilitated small-group case review
Best suited to
Veterinarians, interns, registrars, and experienced veterinary nurses
This session uses a series of emergency and critical care cases to build confidence in blood-gas, acid–base and electrolyte interpretation.
The session covers
Respiratory Decision Challenge
Duration60 minutes
Format Interactive decision-making exercise
Best suited to
Veterinarians and mixed veterinary and nursing teams
Participants are presented with a series of distressed respiratory patients and must decide what to do next while working with limited information.
The session covers
Emergency Team Communication Micro-Simulation
Duration60 minutes
Format Facilitated team exercise and debrief
Best suited to
Mixed veterinary and nursing teams, clinical leaders, and emergency services
This session uses short clinical scenarios to practise the communication behaviours that help teams function during an emergency. The focus is on realistic communication that can be used during everyday veterinary practice.
The session covers
Facilitated M&M Case Review
Duration60 minutes
Format Facilitated confidential case review
Best suited to
Veterinary hospitals with an established or developing clinical-governance program
A structured morbidity and mortality review is conducted using an anonymised case supplied by the participating hospital. This is an educational case review rather than a formal medico-legal investigation.
The session covers
Protocol Stress Test
Duration60 minutes
Format Facilitated protocol-testing exercise
Best suited to
Hospitals introducing or reviewing emergency, transfusion, sepsis, trauma, CPR, or deterioration protocols
A hospital protocol or checklist is examined using realistic clinical scenarios. The aim is to determine whether the document is clear, usable and capable of supporting decisions under pressure.
The session covers
Ready Workshops
Intensive 3–4 hour small-group workshops
Ready Workshops are designed for teams that need more than a lecture. Each workshop combines concise teaching, progressive cases, practical decision exercises, and facilitated discussion. Workshops are primarily dry-lab based and do not require live animals. Maximum 8 participants.
Ready for Trauma: The First Hour
Duration3–4 hours
Max participants 8
Best suited to
General-practice veterinarians, newer emergency veterinarians, interns, and mixed clinical teams
A practical workshop focused on the assessment and early treatment of veterinary trauma patients. Participants work through several progressive trauma cases, making decisions as new clinical information becomes available.
Participants will learn how to
Shock, Perfusion and the Next Best Decision
Duration3–4 hours
Max participants 8
Best suited to
General-practice veterinarians, emergency veterinarians, interns, and registrars
This workshop helps clinicians move beyond reflexive fluid administration and develop a more structured approach to circulatory failure. Participants work through cases involving haemorrhagic, distributive, hypovolaemic, and cardiogenic shock.
Participants will learn how to
Respiratory Crisis
Duration3–4 hours
Max participants 8
Best suited to
General-practice veterinarians, emergency veterinarians, and mixed veterinary and nursing teams
A practical workshop for teams caring for patients with acute respiratory compromise. The workshop emphasises rapid recognition, low-stress handling and treatment before definitive diagnosis.
Participants will learn how to
Team Performance When Every Minute Matters
Duration3–4 hours
Max participants 8
Best suited to
Mixed veterinary and nursing teams, emergency departments, clinical leaders, and hospitals developing a simulation program
Clinical knowledge alone does not guarantee good performance during an emergency. This workshop examines how individuals and teams manage information, workload, uncertainty, and communication during high-pressure veterinary situations. Short simulations are followed by structured, psychologically safe debriefs.
Participants will learn how to
From Case Review to Safer Care
Duration3–4 hours
Max participants 8
Best suited to
Clinical directors, senior veterinarians, specialists, nurse leaders, and hospital-management teams
This workshop teaches veterinary teams how to examine an adverse event or unexpected outcome and convert the findings into practical improvement. The workshop is designed to strengthen clinical governance without creating a culture of blame or avoiding professional accountability.
