Here at Langford Vets we host an annual Vet Nurse Congress, featuring a full day of in-person lectures delivered by our outstanding Nursing and ACA teams, and offering tours of our hospital.
Previous years' events have covered a range of interesting lecture topics across all types of nursing disciplines, including neurology, physiotherapy, ICU, theatre, cardiology, behaviour and many more. Through a mix of lectures, discussions, and practical sessions, we offer an opportunity to upskill in key areas and ask our nurses plenty of questions. This is of great value to those at all levels including Vet Nurses, Trainee Vet Nurses and Animal Care Assistants.
For 2025 we are running two streams, one for Veterinary Nurses and one for Animal Care Assistants, and an optional practical suturing session for nurses.
Example lecture topics:
- No time to paws: Triage and stabilisation when every second counts
- Recognizing and managing cardiac emergencies in first opinion practice
- Suturing Practical Session
- Getting started with human factors - Making it easy to do the right thing
- Paws and reflect: A deeper look at pain management for animals
- Come to me with solutions, not problems
