Veterinary nurse Hayley Walters and veterinary surgeon Dr
Heather Bacon have recently returned from a very successful trip teaching
Government vets in Hanoi, Vietnam.
The 3 day workshop was aimed to improve
standards of small animal care in veterinary practices and included subjects
such as asepsis, dog and cat behaviour,
surgical techniques, and blood biochemistry and haematology interpretation. The topics were chosen by the delegates and
the workshop was hosted and co-funded by Animals Asia. There were practical
sessions in bandaging and intravenous cannula placement, with lots of questions after each lecture.
Hayley
said, “What was so lovely about this workshop is that the Government vets
requested it and suggested the topics themselves.
Good veterinary practices aren’t achieved by the latest equipment or state of
the art buildings, but by a solid knowledge in subjects like asepsis, behaviour, critical thinking, pain
recognition, and bandaging. We were pleased to be able to deliver what they
wanted and spurred on by their enthusiasm".
