This award-winning case example shows how the Vets Now Macclesfield team conducted quarterly audits to improve general anaesthetic monitoring in an emergency setting. As a result, the practice suffered zero patient deaths or significant events related to anaesthesia or sedation. Vets Now Macclesfield won the RCVS Knowledge Practice Champion Award in 2019 for their work in this area.
