Animalcare, the distributor of Oralade Advanced GI+, has launched a training programme on oral rehydration therapy for veterinary nurses and receptionists.

The training, which is presented by Nicola Lakeman RVN, consists of seven bite-sized modules covering topics such as:

  • Assessing hydration and dehydration
  • Preventing fluid loss
  • Supporting patients undergoing anaesthesia
  • Managing kidney patients
  • Handling gastrointestinal (GI) cases

Kai Crawshaw, Brand Manager at Animalcare, said: "GI cases are among the most frequent reasons pet owners reach out to practices and often, these calls revolve around seeking advice on managing symptoms at home.

"This training will help veterinary receptionists and nurses gain the confidence and knowledge to handle these enquiries and ensure that pet owners receive prompt, accurate guidance."

The training is available on the BVRA website: www.bvra.co.uk.
