Saving lives is the mission of all veterinary professionals and one of the main reasons many seek to advance their skills and knowledge. Because of this, coping with pet loss and supporting grieving owners can take a heavy toll on veterinary teams. Our new online learning Postgraduate Program in Pet Bereavement will help vets, vet nurses and the supporting clinical team gain the tools to support clients and colleagues through this experience, from advising about the right time to consider euthanasia, to offering compassionate support during this emotional time.
How does it work?
This high-quality online learning modular program will guide you through the fundamental principles of pet bereavement and the physical, emotional, and psychological effects it has on practice staff and their clients. This program consists of eight interactive modules, spread over 15 months, each containing a total of 9 lessons, 2 reflective studies, course notes and weekly summary videos. All materials are hosted in our world-leading Learning Management Platform and authored by renowned professionals.
Content will cover important topics around the bereavement process, such as how to deal with experiencing euthanasia or patient death for the first time, providing help to the grieving client, best practices for euthanasia and compassion fatigue, among others.
Strengthen your role within the veterinary team
Pets are seen as a family member by most owners and dealing with their loss is difficult and often traumatic. Vet professionals can play a crucial role in supporting them and offering the best counselling in a humane manner. Seize this opportunity to stand out by becoming skilled in pet bereavement and strengthen your position within the veterinary team.
This online program offers 50 hours of CPD accredited by ISVPS and an attendance certificate will be awarded upon course completion. This Program is not a recognised subject for the ISVPS NCert qualification.
