About this course

Fundamentals of Acute Trauma combines online learning and a practical day to ensure you are confident in managing wounds, assessing septic joints, and undertaking suturing techniques.

You will take part in five on-demand, online lectures prior to attending the practical day. These lectures will provide you with the important theory you need on your practical day and cover topics including wounds and euthanasia.

Your practical day will focus on hands-on learning with live horses and cadaver specimens. During the day we will:

• discuss when to close a wound, how to close it and with what
• teach you tension-relieving suture patterns and techniques
• develop your bandaging techniques
• discuss how and when a cast or bandage should be applied
• discuss what dressings should be used
• go through synoviocentesis methods for coffin joints, fetlocks, digital flexor tendon sheath, lower limb joints

Your online learning will be available to access at least two weeks before the practical date and available for up to 12 months afterwards.

This course is part of our Fundamentals of Equine Practice series. By working with leading equine practices we’ve developed 10 practical courses that provide the essential skills necessary to thrive in equine practice. See the rest of the series.
