Certificate in Client Care Services2026 ACVN ONLINE CONFERENCE
SKILLS YOU CAN USE ON YOUR NEXT SHIFT
OCTOBER 19th – 30th, 2026
For Nurses Who want to know Why
Introducing the 2026 ACVN Online Conference.
Over ten days in October we bring together local and international speakers to go deeper than a shift ever lets you. Not the version you were taught in a hurry, the version you actually want to understand.
This year the program stretches further than ever. Alongside surgical, critical care, medical and exotics nursing, we are bringing equine and large animal care into the conference, along with the professional skills that shape the kind of nurse you want to become.
Every session runs live online with recordings available. Join from the clinic tearoom, the couch, or wherever you land after a long day.
We kept the price low on purpose
ACVN students and clinical mentors attend free. Nothing to do but register.

AVNAT POINTS SPREAD ACROSS THE CONFERENCE
OUR SCHEDULE
This year’s program spans the full width of what you do. Surgical and critical care nursing, medical nursing, exotics and wildlife, equine and large animal, and the professional skills that hold a clinic together.
Whether you work with dogs and cats, horses, production animals, exotics or all of the above, there is a stream here with your name on it. Pick the sessions that fill your gaps, or take the lot and spend two weeks getting sharper. We will see you online.
Surgical Nursing
Own the prep room and the theatre. The technical craft of surgical nursing across species, from patient preparation and sterile technique through to instrument handling, anaesthetic support and recovery. The unglamorous skills that quietly decide whether a patient goes home clean or comes back infected. Built for nurses who want to anticipate the surgeon rather than follow them.
Critical Care Nursing
When it comes through the door at 4pm on a Friday, you want your hands to already know what to do. Triage, stabilisation, monitoring, and the calls that have to be made fast. For nurses who want to be the steady one in the room, whatever species is on the table.
EXOTICS & WILDLIFE
Nursing beyond the cat and the kelpie. Species specific handling, husbandry, assessment and treatment for birds, reptiles, small mammals and native wildlife. For nurses who want to stop feeling out of their depth the moment something unusual arrives in a towel.
Medical Nursing
The patients who come back. Chronic disease, complex medications, long term monitoring, and the nursing care that makes the difference between a patient managing and a patient thriving. If you are the one clients ring when something changes, this stream is yours.
Professional & Non-Clinical Skills
The parts of the job that are not on the treatment sheet. Communicating with clients when the news is bad, working well with a team under pressure, mentoring the nurse coming up behind you, and looking after your own longevity in a demanding profession. These are the skills that keep good nurses in the job.
Equine & Large Animal
New for 2026. For the first time, equine and large animal nursing has its own place in the conference. For equine nurses, mixed practice teams, and anyone whose patients do not fit on a table.
