Core Values: knowing who you are at your core will help you chose actions that are true to who you are and that will make you happier and healthier. Power of Intention: we can often have the best of intention but still find ourselves struggling due to underlying fears, issues of self worth that stop us from moving forward. This workshop explains how we move though our day making choices and identifying what can hold us back. Kathryn Welsman DVM Saturday April 13th 1pm-4pm Phone Triage: How to help owners over the phone when hanging up isn’t an option! This talk covers basic first aid principles from the view point of how to help an owner over the phone in an emergency. Topics include how to deal with common toxicities, CPR review, seizures, respiratory and ocular emergencies as well as reproductive issues. This may seem boring or super obvious but sometimes it can be very challenging thinking on your feet when an owner is very upset, or knowing if an animal needs to be seen now, this afternoon or it can wait until next week. Any veterinary technician who answers the phone will need these skills and any veterinary technician wanting to work in an emergency practice should have this knowledge at their fingertips. Bring your sense of humour and a pen/paper so we can get some participation going! Learning should be fun! Ivana Novosel RVT/ CEO IMLocum Saturday April 13th 10am-12pm Employment Standards in BC Ivana will be bringing an employment lawyer to come and discuss the difference between employees and contractors, employment agreements, employment policies (privacy, respectful workplace, performance management, progressive discipline, social media), Compensation, leaves of absence, working, resting and overtime, OH&S and WCB, Human rights, Harassment and Discrimination, Termination of employment/contractor relationship.
