https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/f/clinical-discussions/28250/palliative-care-nurse-clinics Has anyone successfully set up a palliative care nurse clinic at their practice? Do you have any resources which you have found helpful or any hints and tips? I was thinking of providing pet owners with a log book to log behaviours, pain scale, medicationen-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/158975?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 24 Mar 2015 15:33:00 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:43f25c79-d5ed-4790-abfb-0270c86c4a77Ailsa Main<p>I think that&#39;s a brilliant idea- and a really good way to support owners through a pretty horrible time. Best of luck! Keep us posted with your progress :)</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/158930?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 20 Mar 2015 23:50:24 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:9a755f53-c619-407e-bab7-b148975df130Jill Macdonald<p>I&#39;ve never run or setup such clinics, but just to say, I think that&#39;s a brilliant idea - clients really need our support in this area, and the ideas you&#39;ve had so far look really sensible.</p> <p>I&#39;d probably think about looking at the key areas and then try to add sub-aeas to this. For example:</p> <ul> <li>Medication</li> <li>Nutrition</li> <li>Behaviour</li> <li>Comfort management - analgesia/bedding etc</li> <li>QoL assessment/ decision on when to let go</li> <li>Little things we can do to make life better for our pet - suitable toys, exercise, massages etc.</li> </ul> <p>I&#39;m sure you&#39;ve already thought of all this (I can&#39;t see your orignal post to see what you said whilst I&#39;m writing this!)</p> <p>Good luck, and I&#39;d be really interested to see how you get on with this.</p> <p>Jill</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
