First aid and emergency care for your pet
Statement of Participation
Would you know what to do if your pet was in a life threatening situation? Accidents happen in the blink of an eye and knowledge of basic first aid could mean all the difference to your pet.
During this course you will learn how to apply first aid in a variety of situations, transport your pet safely, be able to recognise what constitutes an emergency situation and learn how to react to it accordingly.
We will cover the most commonly known toxicities and types of trauma as well as some of the less common to ensure that you are well versed in providing first aid in a range of situations.
The facilitator of this course is a highly experienced emergency care Veterinary Nurse and Nurse Educator.

Studying on campus is a great way to enjoy the benefits of face-to-face education in a way that is far removed from a typical school. No matter which campus you choose, you know that you will be learning in an adult environment where you will be respected and nurtured. Attend a campus to learn face-to-face with a teacher in one of our learning spaces; such as a classroom, workshop, laboratory or simulated environments, or interact with teachers using real-time video or web conference tools.
