Veterinary Nurses

Imagine a dramatic situation: an owner brings their cat to the clinic after it has just been hit by a car. Every second counts. What should you do first? How can you stabilize the patient correctly? How can you prepare them for surgery? How can you care for a hospitalized patient?

In this practical stream, we will go through the entire process – from admission to acute interventions that can save a life. Real-life scenarios, proven protocols, and practical tips.
