Description
The veterinary clinic can be a stressful place for many patients. Fear and anxiety can have lasting effects on their emotional and physical wellbeing, and may compromise the safety of both staff and owners.
The Calm Clinic Academy is a 12-month programme for vets, vet nurses and practice managers, designed to help you create a low-stress, behaviour-focused approach to patient care. You'll gain the skills to make meaningful changes within your practice and support a calmer, safer environment for all.
The Academy includes online training, case studies, assessments, and two in-person attendance days at our central London venue with experienced RVN and behaviourist Charlie Wright.
Attendance days are species-specific, focusing on how biological stress responses and behavioural coping strategies differ between cats and dogs - essential knowledge for managing patients, environments, and clinic protocols.
