The AES Elevate Emergency Nursing Program is the solution for veterinary nurses and veterinary techs who want to be confident in their management of emergency patients, enhance their current knowledge and take their emergency skills to the next level.
The AES Elevate Emergency Program has been designed and developed by a team of Animal Emergency Service Nurses, Technicians and Vets. The team have years of combined clinical emergency experience and know-how in fast paced AES hospitals across Australia and have helped mentor nurses and techs across the practices in becoming fully confident and valued emergency colleagues.
The Elevate program grew from the need to bridge the gap between general practice and emergency and critical care nursing. There are no admin or ‘fluff’ modules – the Elevate Nursing Program is built with relevant, practical and case-based care in mind and, in plain nurse speak.
The 8 modules will give you the tools to elevate your emergency patient care, the knowledge to enhance your work practices and the opportunity, with live and interactive tutorial sessions, to ask questions and study with mentors whose passion is emergency and critical care nursing.
Kick start your career,
into excellence
in critical care and emergency nursing
