Course Details
Of the numerous cancers that affect our feline companions, lymphoma, squamous cell carcinoma, soft tissue sarcoma and mammary tumours are the most frequently diagnosed in the veterinary clinic.
This 4 week course dedicates a week per subject, where we explore the risk factors associated with each of these neoplasms and investigate the methods used to acquire a diagnosis. Treatment options will be discussed with particular detail placed on medical and surgical management techniques that can be applied to general practice and specialist nursing alike.
After completing this online course, participants will have a greater knowledge of these common diseases, enabling understanding of the prognosis and treatment goals; ultimately broadening communication and practical skills in the subject area.
This course is particularly suitable for nurses who have experience in oncology and are looking to broaden their knowledge and compliments the ‘Common Canine Cancer’ course with particular focus on feline friendly care. For nurses in general practice, the course ‘Introduction to Oncology’ may be more suitable.
Week 1
Mammary Tumours
Mammary tumours are a common tumour in cats which are often malignant, yet a small percentage are benign. Early detection and intervention can have a positive outcome and some patients go on to live disease-free lives, others require continuous treatment and monitoring.

Treatment options for feline lymphoma
Chemotherapy protocols, client expectations and how to create a feline friendly environment
Learning objectives
After completion of this week, participants should be able to:

Week 3
Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common form of head and mouth cancer in cats; the behaviour of this neoplasm is sometimes unpredictable and can be very invasive. On week three we discuss the presentation, investigation and treatment options available for these patients and look at some practices which are novel to veterinary medicine.

Treatment options and impact on prognosis
Surgical interventions, nursing support and rehabilitation
Introduction to electrochemotherapy and photodynamic therapy

Course Details
Week 1
Monitoring Modalities
There are many advanced monitoring tools and nursing interventions that can be used in our patients, however, a key part of this is deciding when it is appropriate to employ them. We will discuss and compare different monitoring tools that we have available, including:
Blood pressure monitoring – invasive versus non-invasive
Central venous pressure
ECG
Blood gases – venous versus arterial
We will also explore when these monitoring tools may be beneficial compared with when their use might be contraindicated.
Learning objectives
After completion of this week, participants should be able to:
Determine which patients would benefit from more intensive monitoring
Understand how to conduct each kind of monitoring and explain the information we can obtain
Understand the difference between arterial blood pressure monitoring and central venous pressure
Understand the complications of using the more invasive monitoring tools
Week 2
Tubes and Drains
Various tubes and drains are commonly used in critically ill ICU patients, and it is vital we understand how to manage these safely and effectively. We will look at a variety of different tubes and drains including Jackson Pratt drains and active grenades, thoracic tubes, tracheostomy tubes and pericardiocentesis catheters among others.
Learning objectives
After completion of this week, participants should be able to:
Understand the different drains and their functions
Safely manage and nurse patients with various types of tubes
Understand the complications that may occur with various interventions
Confidently troubleshoot drain management

Cardiovascular Support
Sometimes fluids just aren’t enough! There are a variety of issues we can encounter with our critically ill patients and cardiovascular support and monitoring becomes an important aspect of the RVN’s role. We will look at the different causes of cardiovascular instability and how we can address those including the use of vasopressors and inotropes.
Learning objectives

Constant Rate Infusions
Constant rate infusions are commonly used in the ICU, and it is really useful for RVN’s to be able to calculate these dosages. Whilst the maths can sometimes seem baffling, if you understand the basics, it is a very useful skill. CRIs are very beneficial for many of our patients and are attainable in any practice with an infusion pump.
Learning objectives
After completion of this week, participants should be able to:
Calculate ANY CRI from scratch!
Understand the benefits and issues associated with use of CRIs
Understand multimodal analgesia options for critically ill patients
The course will be fully tutored by Kath Howie and will consist of 10 hours of CPD and will be provided in various formats, including tutorials, tasks, case scenarios, forum discussions and quizzes. This course is tutored for 4 weeks, followed by a two week extension of untutored ‘catch up’ time, before the course officially ends.
All delegates will then have unlimited lifetime access to the learning material for future reference

Course Details
Week 1
Monitoring Modalities
There are many advanced monitoring tools and nursing interventions that can be used in our patients, however, a key part of this is deciding when it is appropriate to employ them. We will discuss and compare different monitoring tools that we have available, including:
Blood pressure monitoring – invasive versus non-invasive
Central venous pressure
ECG
Blood gases – venous versus arterial
We will also explore when these monitoring tools may be beneficial compared with when their use might be contraindicated.
Learning objectives
After completion of this week, participants should be able to:
Determine which patients would benefit from more intensive monitoring
Understand how to conduct each kind of monitoring and explain the information we can obtain
Understand the difference between arterial blood pressure monitoring and central venous pressure
Understand the complications of using the more invasive monitoring tools
Week 2
Tubes and Drains
Various tubes and drains are commonly used in critically ill ICU patients, and it is vital we understand how to manage these safely and effectively. We will look at a variety of different tubes and drains including Jackson Pratt drains and active grenades, thoracic tubes, tracheostomy tubes and pericardiocentesis catheters among others.
Learning objectives
After completion of this week, participants should be able to:
Understand the different drains and their functions
Safely manage and nurse patients with various types of tubes
Understand the complications that may occur with various interventions
Confidently troubleshoot drain management
Week 3
Cardiovascular Support
Sometimes fluids just aren’t enough! There are a variety of issues we can encounter with our critically ill patients and cardiovascular support and monitoring becomes an important aspect of the RVN’s role. We will look at the different causes of cardiovascular instability and how we can address those including the use of vasopressors and inotropes.
Learning objectives
After completion of this week, participants should be able to:
Understand the methods of monitoring that can assist with determining both low and high-volume states
Identify cases where the use of vasopressors and inotropes are indicated
Explain the different conditions that lead to changes in cardiovascular function
Understand the ECG assessment and recognise the main life threatening abnormalities
