12:00 AEDT - Tips on Managing the Aggressive Client
Topic Description: Aggressive clients can be a real challenge in our profession. They have the potential to derail patient treatment, and their abusive behaviour can have serious consequences on the individual or individuals the behaviour is directed at. Knowing how to manage client behaviour on the other hand, can empower the veterinary team, improve professional relations with the client, and as a result, can positively affect the treatment of the patient. Join us as we delve into the reasons why clients display angry behaviour, and how we, as animal health professionals, can identify strategies to defuse our client’s anger, and get them to positively participate in their pets health plan.

19:00 AEDT - But It’s Just A Bird. What Can You Do? Demystifying Avian Clinical Pathology
Topic Description: In this program, participants will learn about the important role of avian clinical pathology in practice and understand that even in a clinical setting where the avian patient is not common, the veterinary staff can perform some basic tests to get a baseline on the health of the avian patient. Avian patients are the masters of deceit and will hide a myriad of diseases due to being a prey species. We will discuss what tests can be done, from basic non-invasive testing to the more extensive testing options. Demonstrate sampling techniques and which technique is best suited to each test. Discussion on blood volume and the difference between avian and mammalian cells. Finally, we will look at the interpretation of the test results and what this means for our avian patient.
