Hydrotherapy training

At Burntwood Canine Hydrotherapy, we are committed to advancing the field of canine rehabilitation through comprehensive training and educational opportunities.

Our dedication to excellence is reflected in the support and instruction we provide to veterinary professionals and students.

Continuing Professional Development (CPD) for Veterinary Nurses

We offer specialized CPD programs designed to enhance the skills and knowledge of veterinary nurses in the area of canine hydrotherapy. These sessions cover a range of topics, including the principles of hydrotherapy, patient assessment, and the development of tailored treatment plans. Our goal is to equip veterinary nurses with practical skills that can be directly applied in clinical settings, ultimately improving patient outcomes.

Student Placements and Work Experience

Recognizing the importance of hands-on experience, we provide placement opportunities for veterinary students and individuals pursuing careers in animal care. These placements offer immersive exposure to the day-to-day operations of a hydrotherapy center, including patient handling, session planning, and collaboration with a multidisciplinary team. A notable example is Courtney, who initially visited our center with her dog for hydrotherapy. She later joined us for her school work experience and as a veterinary student. Courtney is soon to be a qualified vet, and we wish her well in her new career.

Collaborations with Educational Institutions

We actively collaborate with local veterinary practices and educational institutions to support the development of future professionals in the field. By offering training sessions, workshops, and placement opportunities, we aim to bridge the gap between theoretical learning and practical application, fostering a new generation of skilled practitioners in canine hydrotherapy.

Commitment to Excellence

Our team comprises fully qualified hydrotherapists, including a veterinary nurse, veterinary physiotherapist, and sports massage therapist. This diverse expertise ensures that students and professionals training with us receive comprehensive instruction grounded in the latest industry standards and best practices.

Through these initiatives, Burntwood Canine Hydrotherapy demonstrates its unwavering commitment to the advancement of canine rehabilitation and the professional development of those dedicated to improving animal health and well-being.
