About RSPCA Vet and Vet Nurse Wildlife Webinar Series
This course provides an overview on dealing with wildlife casualties in a practice setting. Webinars will cover initial steps from triage and stabilisation of patients, including essential practical information, top tips on identification and husbandry, and common conditions of wild British mammals and birds. The course ends with an interactive case session, providing a unique opportunity for delegates to apply what they’ve learnt in a safe and supportive environment, with the chance to gain valuable input from wildlife vets. Delegates will complete the course feeling more confident to tackle common British wildlife species and their conditions when they present to first opinion practice.
This course is a fantastic introduction to the two 2 day practical courses we run at Stapeley Grange each year, which provides a hands-on teaching experience to reinforce the theory learnt on this course.
