We take a sho rt break for lunch during the session. All the information is summarized i n a course workbook that is provided for each delegate to take home.\n\n&n bsp\;\n\nThe Mastering Medicines Course is a Red Tractor approved course o n the responsible use of medicines. The course aims to increase awareness of different classes of medicine\, enhance knowledge of how different medi cines work and how to use them effectively and responsibly as well as unde rstanding antimicrobial resistance. By increasing awareness and knowledge we aim to drive the best practice use of medicines on farms.\n\nDuring the course we go through four major classes of medicine (vaccines\, antibioti cs\, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs\, anthelmintics)\, what they do and when to use them. We will discuss how active herd health planning can ensure that medicines are used effectively. We also cover the safe and ef fective administration of medicines and ensuring that you comply with medi cine legislation and farm assurance requirements for record keeping.[/vc_c olumn_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width="1/3"][vc_column_ text css=""]\nKey learning objectives: \n\n Understand the different clas ses of medicine\n Know what the different classes of medicine do\n Know how and when to use the different classes of medicine\n Understand how he rd health planning ensures effective product use\n Understand the respons ible use of medicines using the ‘Replace\, Reduce\, Refine’ model\n S afe and effective administration of medicines\n Comply with legislative a nd farm assurance requirements for medicine record keeping\n\n[/vc_column_ text][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/3"][vc_column_text css=""]\nCourse To pics Covered: \n\n Antibiotics\n Vaccines\n Non-steroidal anti-inflamm atory drugs\n Anthelmintics\n Health planning\n Responsible use of medi cines\n Antibiotic and anthelmintic resistance\n Safe and effective stor age and administration of medicines\n Medicine record keeping requirement s\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/3"][vc_column_text c ss=""]\nCourse Agenda:\nArrival\n\nAM session\n\nMedicine classes\n\nRespo nsible use of medicines\n\nLunch\n\nPM session\n\nHealth planning\n\nCase studies[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width="stretch_r ow" content_placement="middle" css=".vc_custom_1706004276605{padding-top: 40px !important\;padding-bottom: 40px !important\;background-color: #045e4 0 !important\;}" el_class="testimonial"][vc_column width="1/4"][vc_single_ image image="4998" img_size="full" alignment="center" css="" el_class="img border"][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/4"][vc_column_text css=""]\nLottie is an experienced Medicines trainer\nOur courses are fully Vet led.[/vc_c olumn_text][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/2"][vc_column_text css=""]“I find this a really rewarding course to lead. Often people enroll as a tick box exercise to satisfy farm assurance\, but by the end of the session ev eryone is really engaged in the\n\nsubject and has a selection of practica l things that they can put into action on their own farm.\n\nWe often have a real variety of different farms represented in a group\, from smallhold ers to sheep\, beef and dairy\, which leads to really interesting variety of cases to discuss. The nature of the course means that regardless of the level of prior knowledge or experience everyone can gain something from t aking part.\n\nFor dairy farmers it makes a really beneficial course to at tend alongside the Milksure course as it covers a different side of medici ne use.”\n\nLottie Meire[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][v c_column width="1/2"][vc_column_text css=""]Course Duration: \n1 Days\n\nC ourse Format (e.g. in-person\, online\, hybrid):\nIn person\n\nCourse Mate rials Provided:\nMastering medicines booklet provided\n\nCourse location:\ nClassroom theory – Shepton Vets Shepton Veterinary Group Limited Allyn Saxon Drive Shepton Mallet BA4 5QH\n\nPrerequisites:\nWe limit places to 1 2 on this course.
