Restraint and Handling Difficult Patients

Restraint and Handling Difficult Patients
Restraint and Handling Difficult Patients

Appropriate restraint and handling of our veterinary patients is important not only from a staff and owner safety standpoint but also vital to our patient's health and anxiety while in the hospital. This webinar will help you learn some creative tips and tricks to save your sanity, save your skin, and keep our patients as calm and happy as possible. Special attention will be paid to the veterinary staff's mental health and state of mind as that will impact the patients as well. The species covered in this webinar will be limited to dogs and cats. 

The Australian Veterinary Nurse and Technician (AVNAT) Regulatory Council has allocated (1) AVNAT CPD point to this continuing education activity.
