Masters of Disguise - Unmasking Feline Acute Pain

Join Emily Foot for this one-hour webinar as we delve into the world of feline acute pain. Pain management is a fundamental aspect of patient care, and veterinary nurses play a vital role in recognising, assessing and advocating for appropriate analgesia. This webinar will explore the physiology of pain, why effective pain management matters, and how to develop a practical, patient-centred approach to analgesia in feline patients.

Whether you're newly qualified or looking to refresh your knowledge, this webinar will provide practical, evidence-based information that you can apply confidently in everyday veterinary practice.

​

By the end of this session, you will be able to:

• Define pain and understand the physiology of the pain pathway.

• Recognise the negative effects of acute pain on feline patients and identify factors that influence pain perception.

• Understand the principles of pain assessment and appreciate the veterinary nurse's role in recognising and monitoring pain.

• Develop an appropriate, patient-centred pain management plan using a multimodal approach.
