Overview

Advances in anaesthesia over the last 20 years have been considerable. For example, our knowledge of locoregional anaesthetic techniques and an ever-increasing array of treatment options to manage pain, alongside the wider availability of monitoring equipment, means we can aim to optimise animal welfare while reducing anaesthetic-related morbidity and mortality.

Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia (Online Learning) course offered by The University of Edinburgh allows you to study these advances, during which you can gain knowledge and understanding in the equipment, drugs and techniques associated with veterinary anaesthesia and analgesia.

The teaching team offers a diverse range of clinical and research experience across various species. Through the varied selection of elective courses, you can tailor the programme to suit your clinical interests, including topics such as ventilation, ethics, and non-technical skills, alongside species-specific courses.

Career opportunities

This Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia (Online Learning) course at The University of Edinburgh enables a variety of veterinary staff, including vets, vet nurses and technicians, to gain postgraduate qualifications.

Whilst working through the programme you will also acquire skills which are important for your own professional development, but will also enable you to improve clinical practice where you work.

In addition, those completing the MSc dissertation element will learn valuable research tools which will enable them to continue clinical research in the future.
