Microscopy for Veterinary Nurses
£587.00 (+VAT)
A practical course designed to build confidence in clinical microscopy for veterinary nurses, combining hands-on sample evaluation with clear guidance on recognising pathology and knowing when to escalate.
Microscopy for Veterinary Nurses
Clinical microscopy is at the hub of your practice’s diagnostic capability. Nurses with a good understanding of this are vital in the handling and analysing of diagnostic samples, both those done ‘in house’ and others referred to external or reference laboratories. This course will run through why manual microscopy is still an absolute necessity for accurate analysis and disease diagnosis, in combination with our analysers and enhanced by advanced imaging. We will identify specific cells and diseases in four common arenas we face in practice, building your confidence to diagnose pathology when you’re on your own, but still know when and ‘who you going to call’.
What you’ll learn:
- Sample taking – shaken not stirred ma’am?
- Urinalysis – sediment examination, wet or dry sir?
- Haematology smears – why? Who’s that?
- Skin – scrape or not, what’s your impression?
- Practical sessions throughout for case examples & your own practise.
