Fluid therapy is an essential part of medical management. When used correctly, fluids can correct dehydration, treat shock, correct electrolyte imbalances and provide a route for other therapeutic agents. But only your knowledge can truly make a difference to your patients. This site is here to help practices build their expertise in fluid therapy – improving decisions that have a real impact on patient treatment and recovery.

Starting with the physiology of body fluids, the Fluids Knowledge Programme will take you through all aspects of fluid therapy, using videos and interactive illustrations to enhance understanding. Perfect as both a refresher and new learning course for vets and nurses, the Fluids Knowledge Programme has been prepared by Dr Ava Firth, with additional material by Karen Humm and Kevin Corley. So you’ll have the very latest thinking and best practice in fluid therapy at your fingertips.

The contributors have used their extensive experience in the use of fluid therapy to create a resource dedicated to patient welfare and providing the highest standards of care and the best possible treatment. The views and use of products expressed are solely those of the contributors.
