Overview
Knowledge and advances in anaesthesia over the last 20 years have been considerable. Join the Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia (Online Learning) at The University of Edinburgh.
We can use techniques to block sensation locally or over a region of the body not just total unconsciousness.
We have an array of drugs and methods of drug administration available to us in our fight against pain.
Anaesthesia has always carried risks, and we have an increasing availability of monitoring equipment to help us monitor the physiological function of the body during anaesthesia with the aim of reducing morbidity and mortality in our animals.
Why Edinburgh
We are offering this unique opportunity for an entirely online MSc to study these advances, during which students can gain knowledge and understanding in the equipment, drugs and techniques associated with anaesthesia and analgesia.
Our team can provide a wide range of clinical and research experience across many species.
Career opportunities
The MSc Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia is likely to be desirable for veterinary surgeons seeking employment in research environments (for example, as Named Veterinary Surgeon or other roles) due to the key importance of anaesthesia and the emphasis on this from Home Office regulation of research work in the UK.
The MSc will be a different route for progression for veterinary nurses who have key roles in private veterinary practices with regard to veterinary anaesthesia and analgesia.
This may be desirable for practices wishing to show a wide range of expertise among their staff and patient support for surgical procedures.
