Admission and discharge are where the client hands over their pet and later takes it home, and both need to be done properly every time. This webinar covers the common reasons for admitting patients and works through the admission appointment: confirming client and patient details and a contact number, checking feeding, medications, current health and vaccination status, explaining the procedure, getting informed consent and carrying out a preliminary examination.
It then covers preparing the patient, the paperwork and the medications for discharge, and running the discharge appointment, including home care advice and follow-up bookings. Example videos of an admission and a discharge are used to spot what was missed.
