Pain Management in the Avian Patient

Arlo Guthrie — Tue, 07 Feb 2023 09:56:07 GMT

For our second Clinical Article Club discussion, we've got Adam Gregory RVN NCert (Anaesth) DMZAA DipVNZS APVN, Head Nurse at Great Western Exotics, here to answer your questions and discuss his article about Pain Management in the Avian Patient.

Here is a link to Adam's article: https://www.veterinary-practice.com/article/pain-management-in-the-avian-patient

Being HN at a leading referral centre, you can imagine Adam is a busy guy, so we're very lucky to have him joining us, but do bear in mind that he may not be able to reply immediately.

Nevertheless, he's looking forward to your questions, so fire away!

Becoming a Cat-friendly Clinic

Arlo Guthrie — Mon, 23 Jan 2023 10:22:32 GMT

Welcome to our first VetNurse Clinical Article Club discussion for 2023!

To anyone new to this, the idea is that every two weeks, we pick an article in Veterinary Practice and invite the author to join us here, so that you can ask any questions you may have, and discuss the subject with one another.

Each discussion will run for a week.

As a bonus, you can claim time spend reading or participating in the discussion towards your annual CPD requirement!

This week's article is Becoming a Cat-friendly Clinic, and I am delighted to welcome the author, shelly jefferies, a veterinary nurse with over 20 years experience and founder of svn2rvn, to join the discussion.

First you need to read Shelly's article here: https://www.veterinary-practice.com/article/becoming-a-cat-friendly-clinic

Then come back and post any questions you have for her about creating a cat-friendly clinic.

And if you already run a cat-friendly clinic, share what you do to make things cat-friendly!

Our aim is for this discussion to be a useful reference for anyone trying to create a cat-friendly clinic in the future, so the more questions you ask and experiences you share, the better.

Fire away!

A warm welcome!

Welcome to the VetNurse Clinical Article Club!

This is a reading club, where once every two weeks we will be joined by the author of an article, usually clinical, published in Veterinary Practice.

You'll then have the chance to ask them any questions you have, and to discuss the implications of the article for your life in practice with each other.

Discussions count towards your annual CPD requirement, just click the 'Claim CPD' button top right.

Only one rule in the club, which is to be polite. We want this to be a really useful resource for you all, and for everyone to feel able to ask whatever they want, without fear of ridicule. There is no such thing as a stupid question.

I'll publish a list of the forthcoming articles up for discussion shortly, meantime if you have any questions about the club itself, do post them here.
