Nurses working in general or in specialised veterinary clinics, often need to have a broad understanding and knowledge of anaesthesia. Especially as veterinary anaesthesia and analgesia have advanced significantly during recent years. This certificate programme is a collaboration between AniCura Continuing Education (ACE) and Improve, intended to give tools suitable for nurses who wish to develop their skills and improve in all different areas of anaesthesiology.
The programme entitles eligable nurse participants to sit an examination. A Nurse Certificate in Anaesthesia (NCertAnaesthesia) will be awarded the candidates passing the examination.
PROGRAMME DESCRIPTION
The Nurses Certificate in Anaesthesia programme will review the latest anaesthetic and monitoring equipment, the selection of key anaesthetic and analgesic agents, techniques for safe anaesthesia and effective analgesia in dogs, cats and exotics. The programme will increase confidence in this vital area of veterinary nursing.
