- previous course delegate
Before attending the practical day, you will have access to seven online lectures which cover all the theory. Lectures include case selection, methods of restraint, local anaesthetic procedures, field anaesthesia protocols, open castration techniques, discussing potential complications, and working with the emergency services
The practical day involves practicing regional anaesthesia techniques on cadavers (eg for placement of subpalpebral lavage systems and suturing wounds) and castration of live colts.
The online learning will be available to access at least two weeks before the practical and available for up to 12 months after the practical.
As you will be undertaking hands-on learning on live colts it is a requirement that you have completed all the online lectures before attending the practical day.
Add yourself to the waiting list and we will contact you if a place becomes available.
