300+ people joined us for our latest VCA webinar!
We were really pleased to see such a great turnout for The VCA Difference: Patient Monitoring & Supporting the Veterinary Team with Sam Morgan-Hourd.
It’s great to see this level of interest from VCAs, and we’re looking forward to doing more. We’re already planning our next webinar for November/December!

Lecture Synopsis;
Veterinary Care Assistants play a vital role in patient care, often being the first to notice subtle changes that can significantly impact outcomes. This practical webinar will explore the essential monitoring skills every VCA should possess, including TPR assessment, pain scoring, recovery monitoring, and recognising early signs of patient deterioration. Through real-life case studies and practical examples, attendees will learn how to identify concerns, communicate observations effectively, and contribute confidently to the veterinary team. Designed to enhance both clinical knowledge and professional confidence, this session celebrates the invaluable contribution VCAs make to patient welfare and veterinary practice success.
Learning Points;
- Demonstrate an understanding of essential patient monitoring techniques, including temperature, pulse, respiration (TPR), pain assessment, and recovery observations
- Recognise early indicators of patient deterioration by identifying key respiratory, circulatory, and behavioral changes that require escalation to the clinical team
- Apply patient monitoring knowledge to real-life clinical scenarios, supporting improved patient welfare and outcomes through timely observation and intervention
- Communicate patient observations effectively and confidently within the veterinary team, enhancing their contribution to patient care and reinforcing the value of the VCA role
