As the leading provider of ECC in Europe, we harness our expertise to develop innovative emergency-led CPD to support you as you embark on your locum journey.
Because we handle the largest emergency caseload in Europe, we want to ensure our knowledge is both shared and incorporated into active learning and development for our people. Whether you join us for one shift a month or you’re a permanent member of our team, we’re committed to your continuing professional development (CPD).
That’s why we created this CPD library, containing many of the fundamentals of emergency practice that will support you as you join our locum network.
Foundations of ECC
Diagnostics - one drop of blood
Discussing the indications for using the minimum database blood test, plus communication with owners about the advantages of this test to identify life-threatening conditions and allow clinicians to provide the best treatment.
This webinar provides a range of tools we can use to establish a rapport with clients, helping to build their trust in us to support meaningful decision-making and work towards the best outcome for them and their pet.
Patients presenting with severe diseases, trauma or complex surgeries are likely to undergo a prolonged recovery, so nutrition will need to be addressed early during their hospitalisation period.

Damage control resuscitation and the trauma patient
Damage control resuscitation is a relatively recent concept in human trauma management, designed to improve the survival of seriously injured patients by staging definitive surgical interventions.
After a quiet 300 years, the use of blood products in veterinary medicine has increased rapidly due to greater availability, plus experts growing more and more familiar with their appropriate use.
It’s important for all veterinary practitioners to be prepared in assessing/treating brain-injured patients – the actions of the first vet in their management often has the greatest impact on the outcome.
Ultrasound techniques have enhanced the ability of emergency doctors/vets to examine their patients but as with all diagnostic tests, it’s important to know how to perform them and to interpret the results properly.
We’re often presented with patients with varying degrees of illness/injury at the same time. Triage helps us identify those who need immediate care and those whose clinical status will not be compromised by waiting.
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is the result of insulin deficiency and the presence of stress hormones that antagonise the action of insulin. These hormones can be released due to concurrent diseases, or as a result of poorly controlled diabetes.
The patient with gastric dilation volvulus (GDV) presents many challenges to the veterinary team due to the critical presentation, multiple body system compromise and the ongoing critical care required in the post-operative period.
It’s important we can interpret information effectively to minimize complications. This webinar focuses on the main anaesthesia monitoring we have available, plus the abnormalities we may encounter on a regular basis in any patient.
