Slides Proceedings/Handout

Veterinary Long Term Care: Support Strategies for Patients, Clients, Ourselves will focus on a variety of challenging medical concerns that create long-term care needs for the veterinary patient (such as neurological, internal medicine, oncology) and explore how these challenges impact the human-animal bond equilibrium. We will also explore strategies for long-term veterinary nursing care, communications and support for the caregiver, and also ensure that those in the veterinary team are also included in this discussion to support our own resilience and mental/physical health needs. With the advancement and increasing sophistication within the veterinary profession, it is also necessary to ensure we are able to understand and equip ourselves for this journey.

Learning Objectives:

To gain a broader understanding of the many levels that patients and clients facing long-term care needs may face in their patient care journey.
To identify a variety of resources that can be added to the learner's toolkit as they develop clinical strategies in long-term veterinary medicine.
To address unmet needs within this sector of the profession and to allow learners to explore how they may contribute to a growing knowledge base in this topic area.
