Pet Owner First Aid Event

This month we hosted our first ‘Pet Owner First Aid’ event.

This event was designed by our nursing team to help owners with support in responding to first aid alongside seeking veterinary assistance. That reassurance in what to do in those first few moments.

This was our pilot in a new series for owners covering elements such as; what’s normal for your pet, what to look out for, what to have in your home first aid kit, heatstroke, basic bandaging & CPR

We were lucky enough to be joined by an amazing group of owners to make the afternoon a truly positive experience.

Examples of the lovely feedback we received:

  • ‘Very good. Covered a lot of info in a short period. Good/practical info that pet owners need.’
  •  ‘I found the bandage practical really useful and fun.’
  • ‘Amazing thing to do for the community of pet lovers thank you.’

Special thanks to our amazing nurses:

Caprice McWilliams - Senior Admit and Discharge Nurse

Katie Foley - Head Surgery Nurse

Maisie Geraghty- Head Anaesthesia Nurse

We look forward to sharing future dates with you.
