About the Course

Emergency and critical care patients commonly present to veterinary hospitals with abnormal temperatures or are at high risk of developing these variations during hospitalisation. This webinar reviews the pathophysiology of normal thermoregulatory responses in the feline and canine patient, including physiological complications seen with uncontrolled abnormal temperatures. It explores evidence-based temperature correction techniques while also considering primary disease processes and clinical syndromes with associated compensatory mechanisms in the hopes of assisting veterinary professionals to consider all aspects of the individual critical patient before intervention occurs.

Laura qualified with a BSc (Honors) degree in Veterinary Nursing in 2010 and subsequently became a registered vet nurse with the RCVS working in the UK.

Laura now works as the clinical development and operational support specialist ECC vet nurse at Ready Vet Go, Melbourne's Vet Ambulance Service as well as teaching the next generation of Vet Nurses at a bachelor's degree course in Melbourne! During all this, Laura has gained extra qualifications, including completing her certificate in ECC nursing in 2019 and passing the vigorous application process and examination to gain her VTS (ECC) status in 2022! Laura is a self-confessed nerd that not only loves learning but also teaching and empowering others to learn more! This is why she started her continued education venture, 'Veterinary Emergency Specialty Training' aka VEST (@Laurarvn.vest on Instagram) so that she could share her experience and knowledge to help others learn and develop their skills. Laura’s other passion is the progression of the vet nursing profession. Laura is constantly working with different organisations to try and improve the standardisation, recognition and regulation surrounding the veterinary nurse profession.
