This course is designed to provide rescue and emergency training to enable delegates to work effectively with animal rescue teams from the Fire and Rescue Service, as well as other responders from the emergency services at equine rescue incidents and to provide emergency care of rescued horses. This course has is provided through the partnership between BEVA and Devon & Somerset Fire and Rescue Service (DSFRS). It is suitable for all veterinary surgeons who work with horses, and we particularly encourage those from practices in the Emergency Services Protocol Directory of Equine Veterinary Surgeons to attend.
This is a highly practical course with lots of hands-on opportunities to practise rescue techniques with a real emphasis on interactive discussion with large animal rescue experts. Day one of the course, led by Devon & Somerset FRS, covers rescue techniques and is a mixture of seminars and hands-on practical sessions where delegates will learn rescue techniques using a life-sized anatomical horse manikin in simulated, but life-like, rescue situations. Day two is led by equine clinicians who are skilled in emergency medicine and is a mixture of seminars, case-based discussion and hands-on practical sessions designed to cover the practical aspects of veterinary care in emergency situations. We hope that having attended this course, the prospect of attending a road traffic accident, or other rescue incident, will no longer be your worst nightmare.
