Hiya Sazzle,

I did the exact same thing as you when I started in a specialist centre! Although one of the vets gave me their 2nd Ed Fossums when they upgraded. It was certainly my bible.

I've settled on BSAVA Manual of Surgical Principals - the new one. It's actually quite good, some of it is still basic, but ok. Then for the procedural stuff, we can supply up to 10% of Fossums and Tobias under our educational copyright licence, then hopefully they have access to these or similar within their practices so they can do further reading. But the essentials we will provide as copies.

I see scope for a decent surgical nursing textbook to be written!! Perhaps for my next project......

Harrie.

I bought the handbook for veterinary surgical nursing when I got my job in referrals but now I have started my diploma this is quite basic. I am very lucky in that my work bought me the Fossum textbook and this is my bible. How about BSAVA manuals? I know they would have to buy more than one to cover everything but if they know anyone who is a member then they could buy them. I think the problem with vet books is that they can be a bit pricey. How about access to a vet library?
