Appearances:



Day 1 @ 16:30

Critical First Steps- Approaching the Trauma Patient

Trauma cases require rapid, structured assessment to support timely stabilisation and improve patient outcomes. This presentation outlines an evidence informed approach to the initial management of the trauma patient, highlighting key priorities in the early phase of care and the role of the Animal Trauma Triage Score in guiding clinical decision making. Attendees will gain clarity on recognising severity, avoiding common early stage pitfalls, and enhancing communication and efficiency during high pressure presentations.

Day 2 @ 13:30

Why Being Good at Medicine Isn’t Enough: Understanding Effective Clinical Teaching

This presentation shares original research examining the personal and interpersonal characteristics that contribute to effective clinical teaching in veterinary settings. While previous literature has long suggested that educator qualities influence learner outcomes, this study explores how contemporary learners—particularly those engaged in distributed teaching models—define and experience effective clinical education. The findings highlight the traits and behaviours that learners identify as most supportive of their development and offer practical insights for clinicians, supervisors, and formal educators who work with veterinary and veterinary nursing students in placement environments. This session provides an evidence informed perspective on what truly enhances learning in practice based contexts
