I'm doing my exams for this 4 weeks today!! Have really enjoyed the course...just hope I pass. I found most of the information was in the course notes, along side this I have used BSAVA critical care, Advanced VN and other general nursing books.

second what Sam said and the books are great too. I couldn't access some journals but them some of the articles are quite old now too. I found just googling the artice title would bring up very similar ones anyway. Another good source of up todate info are proceedings from congresses. Its a great course and i 'm really enjoying it. You get out of it what you put in so a bit of a juggling act with work, children and life at times.

How much is the course? How hard as well? Do you have to be in place doing lots of emergency work ?? Sorry about the pile of questions x x

Hi What sort of things are on the reading list? Journals? I guess maybe articles from journals like 'in Practice' and 'the Journal of veterinary emergency & critical care? These journals (& many more) can be accessed online but you have to pay a membership fee. I think the best bet would be to do it through the RCVS library, I think it costs about £30 per year then that gives you access to all the journals you need rather than paying way more for individual articles. Alternatively you can pay to download individual articles. Here is more info on the RCVS library http://trust.rcvs.org.uk/library-and-information-services/

I started this course last September and although it is hard work I am really enjoying it and learning a lot from it. I have really struggled with finding items from the reading list as well, so if anyone has any advise on this that would be great. I asked my tutor how important the reading list was, and was told that everything needed for the exams are in the course notes, and the reading list is there to add to overall knowledge on the subject areas.

I have bought Norkus - Veterinary Technicians Manual of Emergency and Critical Care, and Battaglia - Small Animal Emergency and Critical Care for Veterinary Technicians. Both of these texts have been useful for the assignments, along with the BSAVA Manual in Emergency and Critical Care, and using search engines like google scholar, ivis, and veterinary compendium.

Good luck with starting the course!
