Blood pressure monitoring is a vital part of everyday veterinary care—from senior pet consults to anaesthetic monitoring and critical care. But how can we ensure the readings we obtain are accurate?

This session explores the different methods of measuring blood pressure, when to use each technique, and how to optimise accuracy in both hospital settings and nursing consults. We’ll also highlight the importance of routine blood pressure monitoring, identifying which patients need closer observation, and recognising when readings indicate concern—whether it's hypertension or hypotension.

This practical session will help veterinary nurses improve confidence and accuracy in blood pressure monitoring for better patient outcomes.
