What is AdvantEdge?
AdvantEdge helps experienced vets transition into ECC with all the confidence they need to thrive in an emergency setting. The programme combines a one-week, in-person practical training at our Support Office in Dunfermline and access to our e-learning platform. During the in-person week, you’ll connect with like-minded peers and learn from experienced ECC clinicians. Topics covered include CPR, POCUS, emergency surgery wet lab, and interpreting blood smears.
We recommend completing the initial 20-hour structured e-learning course within your first six months to refresh and strengthen key clinical and non-clinical skills. These hours are paid, and you’ll be supported and guided throughout to ensure successful completion.
With the practical training and e-learning combined, the programme delivers a total of 60 hours of CPD.
Access our e-learning platform
You will have access to our bespoke e-learning platform, supporting your transition into ECC with a mix of structured and self-directed learning:
- 20 hours of directed clinical content which covers key clinical areas such as triage, shock and fluid therapy, respiratory, neurological emergencies and non-clinical skills such as communication and decision making.
- Ongoing access to additional optional modules for two years, giving you the flexibility to explore new topics as your experience develops
Whether you join us full-time, part-time, or on a weekends-only contract, AdvantEdge is designed to complement your role and give you the confidence to step into ECC feeling supported from the very start.
