Changing the world, one anaesthesia at a time
Frequently in New Zealand general practices the veterinary technician or nurse is in charge of looking after a patient’s anaesthesia. This role can be challenging, especially with complicated cases.
Gaining valuable anaesthesia knowledge through further education promotes confidence and strengthens the whole veterinary team.
Marcia’s veterinary anaesthesia experience and unique teaching style has allowed her to provide many years of service to university level veterinary teaching and postgraduates within New Zealand and abroad.
Marcia is passionate about providing quality anaesthesia education and training for veterinary professionals throughout New Zealand and abroad.
