The Pet Oncologist Chemotherapy Workshop
“The chemo workshop gave me the confidence I needed to start offering chemotherapy in my small clinic. With just one vet, one nurse, and not much space, the hands-on experience and resources provided were invaluable! Plus, Catherine is available afterwards to support our clinic cases. Before this, we couldn’t even offer chemotherapy, and as a female with young children, I was nervous about handling chemotherapy. The workshop provided the safety training we needed so our staff felt comfortable. The supplier lists and chemotherapy packs were very helpful. When we left the workshop, all we had to do was buy chemotherapy drugs, IV catheters, and clippers. It was wonderful to have workshop items all labelled with suppliers and their costs, so we knew exactly where to get them. It was also lovely to take my nurse so she could learn too. She really enjoyed it. Thank you Team. Amazing workshop!”
Join The Pet Oncologist for a one-day, hands-on chemotherapy workshop in Brisbane. Limited to 12 vets and nurses, this workshop will empower you with the skills & insights required to safely administer oral & injectable chemotherapy.
This includes guidance on preparation, handling, storage, transport, disposal, and dispensing of chemotherapy.
The morning session will commence with engaging presentations, followed by an afternoon of hands-on practice. Supplier insights, addressing attendee learning interests, & advanced chemotherapy techniques such as intracavitary chemotherapy, will also be covered.
At the end of the workshop, you will leave with comprehensive equipment and resources, allowing you to readily implement what you've learned right away! Additionally, you will continue to receive remote support from Dr. Catherine Chan through The Pet Oncologist.
