Sustainability is definitely the buzz word at the moment. But what does it actually mean and more importantly, what does it mean for you as a veterinary professional? And how can we bring these sustainability goals into the operating room?

- Delve into an insightful exploration of how veterinary practices can embrace sustainability
  
  by reducing volatile agent usage without compromising on patient care.
- Gain a deeper understanding of the
  
  environmental impact of common anaesthetic agents and explore practical strategies to
  
   mitigate this impact while enhancing
  
  practice efficiency.
- Learn how to implement low-flow anaesthesia
  
  in your practice through a comprehensive examination of flow rates, vaporiser settings, circuit types and modern monitoring.
