The BVA AWF (British Veterinary Association and the Animal Welfare Foundation) have launched an online tutorial on practical animal handling which has been prepared in conjunction with Newcastle University.

The tutorial is primarily aimed at veterinary students and nurses. It features videos of expert veterinary staff demonstrating the correct procedures for handling small animals for clinical examination and medication and its aim is to show that the primary consideration should be for the welfare of the animal.

To access the online tutorial visit www.bva-awf.org.uk/resources/tutorials.
