Delivering Veterinary CPR training
Can you remember the last time you had formal CPR training?
Most of us in Veterinary Medicine have had very little formal training Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training and we are here to change that!
Based on the RECOVER guidelines our training is accessible, affordable and effective our unique blend of theory and practical will have your teams confident with CPR before you can say staying alive… Well not quite, but give us 2 hours and watch them go.
Large group refreshers, solid foundations for the whole team or certification options we are proud to offer a range of services to fulfil your VetMed CPR Training needs.
VetMed CPR- Solid Foundations
The original team training offering and in our opinion the best! Carried out in 2-hour sessions with groups of no more than 6 this training allows hands on experience for everyone and plenty of time for discussion. The sessions are designed for the whole practice team, receptionist to veterinary surgeon. The best way to establish really solid CPR foundations. Complemented by the monthly webinars and all practices receive a copy of the RECOVER Algorithm

VetMed CPR- Clinical Refresh
For larger groups of clinical team members only. A 2-to-3-hour session depending on numbers for the entire clinical team. This is the most cost and time efficient way to train a group with some existing CPR knowledge. All BLS theory is refreshed with simulations to summarise. Ideal for an evening CPD Session.
For those practices that have had ‘Solid foundations’ with us this is also offered with a focus on ALS. Perfect for keeping everyone up to date and ensuring they are confident with their life saving skills.
