In this webinar we will discuss some of the underlying principles of why we vaccinate that underpin our preventative healthcare strategy for most of our patients. How do we select the most appropriate vaccine protocol for a particular patient? How frequently should we booster vaccine? Should we titre test? How do we fit modified vaccination protocols into a preventative medicine strategy if client perceptions of preventative medicine programs are limited to, “I’m just here for the needles.” There is no one-size-fits-most answer to any of these questions, but by the end of the webinar, we hope you feel equipped to answer client and colleague questions about why we do what we do.

While triage is often associated with emergencies, in the veterinary industry the process can be utilized in many different scenarios. This webinar will cover how easy it is to mold the triage process in everyday veterinary scenarios and how to be the best PI (patient investigator that is!) Knowing what questions to ask and what to look for, not just noticing the obvious or following the textbook, will enable you to determine the answers in the specific scenario whether that is in relation to patient treatment or the order of the schedule for the day!
