Osteoarthritis for Vet Nurses – Updates, Clinical Assessment and Tips

Team management of osteoarthritis (OA) patients is gaining increased acceptance as the most effective means for optimising OA patient care. This culture shift presents an opportunity, and need, for veterinary nurses to gain further insight into OA, how it is diagnosed, advances in therapeutics and how to play a key role in delivering multimodal OA management plans.

This learning series with Ross Allan provides veterinary nurses with a concise OA update, empowering them to be confident collaborating with vets and other paraprofessionals in delivering effective OA care. The course discusses new pharmaceutical and intra-articular therapeutics, provides an update on pain management in OA, includes interactive case discussion scenarios and seeks to provide insight into how OA clinics can be set up and delivered successfully in practice.
