Animal Welfare in the Clinic

Animal Welfare in the Clinic

Created by The Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies (The Jeanne Marchig International Centre for Animal Welfare Education)

This course is aimed at vets, vet nurses, animal care assistants, and vet students.

Why is the experience of going to the vets a negative one for some animals? Is it the anticipated pain, the way the place smells, the colour of the waiting room, the noises coming from the consulting room, or something else? What can vets, vet nurses, animal carers, and owners do to ensure that the welfare of the animal is supported at every stage of the clinical visit (from transportation, waiting area, examination, operating room, and recovery)?

In this course, leading experts in the field of animal behaviour, welfare, veterinary medicine, and industry provide an insight into practical approaches and considerations for improving and maintaining animal welfare in the clinic.

These videos are free, open resources originally created for the short online course Animal Welfare in the Clinic, which includes checklists, downloadable resources, readings, discussions and more. If the course is not currently running, you can still work through the media resources in your own time.
