Why Non-UK trained vets struggle with UK practice
Beginning your career in the UK is nerve-wrecking and can make you feel very nervous. What if you don’t know what to do with your cases? What’s the vaccination protocol for the practice? Who can you ask help from? Are the nurses allowed to do sedate your patient without you there? What are the rules you have to follow if you want to prescribe some phenobarbital to your epileptic patient? Why are your colleagues talking behind your back? Why did that client complain when they had told you everything was fine? Will you lose your license if you accidently give 10x the dose of meloxicam and your patient goes into acute renal failure?…
These questions can haunt you and make you feel worried about going to work. It’s much better to learn from someone else than from making mistakes in this case!
And that’s why you should take this workshop, so you can work on:
HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS
The Induction to Practice Workshop teaches you how the UK system works.
CULTURE DIFFERENCES
We cover the main culture differences that are the biggest barrier for your client and team relationships.
CLINICAL COMPETENCE
We cover basic clinical skills expected in UK practice and the standards of practice that are commonly used.
Covering four areas for success
Our 8-week workshop focuses on four main areas that are essential for your quick adaptation and gives you the chance of overcoming your particular difficulties by taking advantage of the individual mentoring session with Andreia.
The live sessions are delivered over 4 weeks but you have access for twice as long so you can hop in and ask questions. We use blended learning and give you 35+ hours of webinar-based content (recorded) covering all common clinical presentations in practice.
