Learning Together: Using After Action Review (AAR) To Improve Veterinary Practice

Discover how After Action Reviews (AARs) can improve patient safety, team learning, and performance in veterinary practice.

Used widely in healthcare and other safety-critical industries, AARs provide a structured, no-blame approach to reflection that helps teams learn from everyday work and significant events.

Led by Judy Walker, an internationally recognised AAR expert, this webinar will explore what AARs are, how they are used in the NHS and beyond, and why they are valuable for patient safety, quality improvement, and team development. Through practical veterinary examples, you’ll learn how to run effective AARs, create meaningful learning conversations, and embed reflective practice within your team.

You’ll also hear how The Ralph Veterinary Referral Centre is using AARs to support high-quality, safe, and compassionate care.

By the end of the session, you’ll feel more confident leading or participating in AARs and be equipped with practical resources to introduce them in your own practice.

Suitable for all veterinary professionals interested in patient safety, team performance, and continuous improvement.
