Hospital Assistants
OVERVIEW
Khula courses complement the ‘on-the-job training’ by providing a better understanding as to ‘the why’ behind an assistant’s daily tasks.
Hospital assistants play an important role in the day-to-day running of a veterinary practice, supporting the veterinary team and contributing to patient care and welfare. At Khula, we recognise the value of investing in these essential team members through practical, accessible training that builds their knowledge, skills and confidence.
Bespoke In-Practice Training
Khula offers bespoke, practice-specific training for hospital assistants, tailored to the unique needs of your team. Delivered in-practice by experienced Khula veterinarians and veterinary nurses, these workshops combine practical demonstrations with essential theory, with a strong emphasis on stress-free handling, patient welfare and compassionate care.
Training is developed in collaboration with your management team to address your practice’s specific needs and can be delivered bilingually in English and isiZulu where required.

Short Online Courses
Khula’s short online courses offer flexible, self-paced learning for veterinary hospital assistants, allowing support staff to develop their knowledge and practical skills at their own pace.
Our first course, Handling and Restraint in Small Animal Practice, introduces learners to canine and feline behaviour, recognising signs of fear, anxiety and stress, and applying safe handling techniques that prioritise patient welfare and team safety. We aim to expand our online course offering over time to cover additional areas of veterinary support.
