🐾 Pyjama/Oodie Day at Kahuvet/Practical CPD NZ HQ! 🐾

Our team swapped their everyday look for snuggles today, celebrating our annual Pyjama/Oodie Day in style! From pizza print to pawsome patterns (and a very good golden retriever guest star Atlas 🐶), the whole crew showed up comfy, cosy, and ready to keep supporting the veterinary community, just in their favourite loungewear.

Great work can still happen in your comfiest outfit. 😴✨

Today is Day 1 of the IMEX Hybrid & Linear ESF Workshop with the wonderful Dan Lewis at the Advanced Centre for Education. Attendees are enjoying working on the Dry-Lab this morning before getting stuck into the Wet-Lab in the afternoon. 😷🦴

The Brachycephalic Surgery Wet-lab with Dr Damian Chase is officially underway!

Practical CPD New Zealand is thrilled to welcome participants for a day of hands-on learning, surgical skill-building, and expert guidance. It's shaping up to be a snout-standing day of CPD as we work to help our flat-faced patients breathe a little easier.

🚨 RECOVER Certified CPR, Are you ready?
When a patient crashes, there's no time to hesitate. The RECOVER Rescuer Workshop gets you certified in the gold-standard of veterinary CPR, so when it matters most, you know exactly what to do.

Why RECOVER?
🏆 The only certification that counts. RECOVER is the sole veterinary CPR certification recognised by ACVECC and VECCS,a genuine credential, not just a workshop badge.
💪 Built for the real emergency. Certified BLS and ALS Rescuers don't freeze when it matters. They know exactly what to do, in what order, and why.
📊 Backed by the evidence, built for the clinic floor. Over 100 experts distilled the research into clear, actionable steps you can actually use under pressure.
🤝 A calmer, sharper team. No more second-guessing during a crisis. RECOVER replaces panic with a system, better communication, more trust, and a team that has each other's back when it matters most.

Led by Anita Parkin (RVN, VTS – Anesthesia & Analgesia), this hands-on dry-lab takes you through BLS, defibrillation, and ALS practice, finishing with a full assessment.
