Risky Business – Difficult Anaesthesia Cases

Join us for this free vet nurse webinar from the comfort of your home or clinic. No more hassles with traffic!

About the Webinar

Patients often present to the clinic as an emergency with life threatening complications or may have a pre-existing condition that has deteriorated. This case-based lecture will explore three high risk anaesthesia cases, including the urethral obstruction, the haemoabdomen, the “hit by car” thoracic trauma patient.

About Vet Nurse Focus Series

VetEducation and the New Zealand Vet Nurse Association (NZVNA) have joined forces to present an extraordinary series of lectures for vet nurses, by vet nurses. Embracing the adage “If you want to go far, go together,” our collaboration aims to reach vet nurses everywhere, enhancing their practice with valuable insights and practical knowledge. We hope it will make a meaningful difference in your professional experience.

Marcia Fletcher

RVNS, Dip V.N (Distinction), VTS (Anaesthesia & Analgesia)

Marcia is a registered veterinary nurse specialist, thought leader and an international speaker.
Having over 20 years’ experience in veterinary anaesthesia, she started her career working for the Massey University Veterinary Teaching Hospital in New Zealand and was the senior anaesthesia nurse there for over 16 years. In 2011 she became New Zealand’s first Veterinary Technician Specialist in Anaesthesia and Analgesia. She has been awarded New Zealand’s “Vet Nurse of the Year”, and several teaching awards including “Teacher of the Year”. Marcia is also New Zealand’s first RECOVER certified instructor of both basic and advanced CPR, providing CPR training both nationally and internationally.

In 2020 Marcia left the university teaching life and created The Pink Stethoscope, her platform to elevate veterinary anaesthesia within the entire veterinary community. Through The Pink Stethoscope she independently provides postgraduate veterinary anaesthesia education, training, webinars, workshops and consultations.

Marcia loves all aspects of veterinary anaesthesia teaching. Her passion has always been instilling anaesthesia knowledge to the greater veterinary profession – to make a somewhat challenging subject less stressful, and ultimately to empower veterinary professionals to continue their anaesthesia learning journey.

Away from work Marcia is a busy kiwi mum, enjoying her home life with her husband, daughter, son, and very special “fur-daughter” Minnie the tuxedo cat.
