ONLY 2 SPACES REMAINING šŸ“£

Small Animal First Aid Course with ProTrainings.

Ticket bookings have now been extended to Friday 1st May giving delegates one week to complete the required online learning before the revised date for the classroom training on Friday 8th May at the Herongate Club, Charnham Park, Hungerford, RG17 0YU.

Being trained in animal first aid offers many advantages for small animal physiotherapists and hydrotherapists.

Key benefits include:
ā€¢ Increased Knowledge and Clinical Skills enabling therapists to manage emergency situations safely and with greater confidence. For example, if faced with an animal showing signs of cardiac or respiratory distress, an animal having a seizure, or simply an animal who presents to an appointment with a minor injury, but the pet carer requests guidance about how to deal with it.

ā€¢ Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Training providing therapists with the necessary tools needed to help keep an animalā€™s blood flowing and oxygen reaching their brain until support from a veterinarian can be reached.

ā€¢ Improved Monitoring Skills enabling therapists to conduct basic health checks, assess vital signs (heart rate, pulse, breathing rate, gum colour), and be able to recognise early warning signs of deterioration. These skills support therapists to tailor sessions to their patientā€™s needs (e.g. when working with senior animals with complex health conditions or animals rehabilitating post-surgery).

ā€¢ Enhanced Handling and Risk Management supporting therapists to safely handle, restrain, and transport injured or distressed animals, reducing the risk of further injury to the animal or bites/scratches to themselves.

ā€¢ An expanded skill set demonstrating to pet carers that you prioritise animal welfare and you are prepared for dealing with an emergency situation. This can help give pet carers peace of mind that their animals are in safe, capable hands during rehabilitation sessions.

So, don't delay and secure your space today! More information regarding the course can be found on the ACPAT website.
