Small Animal - Updates in Small Animal Emergency and Critical Care

We are delighted to introduce the line-up for this year's online mini modules in small animal Emergency and Critical Care. Ideal for all general practitioners seeing ECC cases, and designed to allow ECC Advanced Practitioners to top-up their designation-specific CPD with cutting-edge teaching.

This 100% online CPD mini-module has been developed and aimed towards the more experienced veterinary surgeon. The module content has been developed by veterinary specialists at the forefront of current veterinary research.

The module will provide you with 25 hours of designation specific CPD. Over four weeks we will cover a different weekly topic in an area in which there may have been changes, advances or controversy in recent years. Each week contains lectures, group meetings hosted by referral vets in the subject area, as well as readings and multiple-choice questions. 

 

Week 1: Updates in Endocrine Emergencies, with Ludivine Boiron

Urgent, fascinating and demanding, endocrine patients are fundamental to the ECC practitioner’s caseload. This week, ECC Specialist Ludivine Boiron will provide you with the knowledge and practical guidance needed to optimise management of endocrine emergencies, including diabetic ketoacidosis, Addisonian crisis, insulinoma and a host of less common presentations.

 

Week 2: Rabbit emergencies: fundamentals and updates, with Jack MacHale

Rabbits do ‘emergency’ very well, but the more detailed aspects of their emergency presentations can feel unfamiliar to us in practice. Making a return to the ECC mini-modules, Jack MacHale presents a comprehensive review of managing the emergency rabbit, including the stabilisation and management of: GI stasis, liver lobe torsion, dyspnoea, uroliths, fly-strike and haemorrhagic disease.

 

Week 3: Updates on managing the septic patient, with Sinziana Radulescu

If you work with hospitalised patients, then being able to identify, assess and stabilise those with sepsis is a core skill. This week, ECC Specialist Sinziana Radulescu presents ‘the septic patient in ECC’, covering core principles as well as practical case management guidance for you to apply in the clinical setting.

 

Week 4: Gastrointestinal emergencies, with James McMurrough

The frequency with which GI cases present as emergencies means that an efficient, logical, safe approach will ensure the correct interventions are provided to each case. This week, veteran of the ECC mini-modules James McMurrough will enable you to advance your assessment, stabilisation, diagnostic approach and treatment plan for the GI emergency patient.
