Hip Dysplasia: Nursing and Rehabilitation 3-Hour CPD

If you are an RVN wanting to develop your knowledge and understanding into effective rehabilitation and nursing of canine patients with Hip Dysplasia, then this 3-Hour CPD will give you the tools to do just that..

The aim of this course is to help guide you in simple rehabilitation methods specifically for patients with hip dysplasia.

Hip dysplasia is one of the most common orthopaedic conditions seen in dogs. There are two general treatment options, Surgical or Conservative. With either treatment method rehab plays a crucial part in reducing pain, improving range of motion, re-educating gait and re-gaining strength. If left Osteoarthritis can often set in and become a long-term problem for the patient.

As Veterinary nurses or Vet’s we are in the best position to implement rehabilitation plans. With any injury or disease, it’s not simply about medicating or treating that one area, there is often a greater impact on the body as a whole and as veterinary professionals it’s part of our job to ensure we rebalance the animal to prevent compensatory issues arising, this is done through pain management, strengthening and improving flexibility.

We are also in the best position to educate owners on diseases such as Osteoarthritis where a multimodal approach is very much needed to achieve the best results.

All our courses include small bitesize videos with an accompanying workbook, so you don’t have to write a single word (unless you want an excuse to get your stationary out 😉)
