New Standards for Global Pain Management and Nutrition Launched by WSAVA at BSAVA Congress
During this year’s BSAVA Congress, the WSAVA announced global initiatives aimed at improving the standard of pain management provided to companion animals globally and at enhancing understanding of the importance of nutrition in health and welfare.
Global Pain Treatise – a downloadable, practical resource providing pain management protocols for a wide range of conditions and drug availability, designed to assist practitioners around the world. It has been researched by the WSAVA’s Global Pain Committee (GPC) which will implement a regional CE program based around its recommendations during the second half of 2013.
Global Nutrition Toolkit – a suite of nutrition tools developed by the WSAVA’s Global Nutrition Council following the launch of its Global Nutrition Guidelines in 2011. They include practical aids for the veterinary healthcare team and a range of educational materials for pet owners.
The initiatives were first unveiled at WSAVA World Congress in early March. The World Small Animal Veterinary Association (WSAVA) is an umbrella organization representing 180,000 veterinarians globally through 93 member associations.
