There is an article on the vet times about supporting new grads dont know if this is any use to you. https://www.vettimes.co.uk/supporting-new-grads-are-you-up-to-the-job/

Also just a thought for your Integrative project but could you do a survey and get RVNS to fill it out for you so you have some evidence that it does happen in practice and maybe you could reference your findings?

we have two new grad spanish vets, they are lovely but so little experience, teaching them anaesthetics is the least of our worries at the moment with the exception id sedations, propofol to effect and tubing. main monitoring is led to the nurses.

I have been 'paired' with so many new grad vets over the years I have lost count - they aren't usually that bothered with monitoring anaesthesia tho if I'm honest , so long as their opsite is asleep and not moving too much that is the extent of their interest. But in all fairness its a bit like anything else it is only once you pass the exam you really start learning and once you pass the exam there are so many things people expect you to be good at all at once and it just isn't possible , if the practice need is for a surgeon rather than an anaesthetist then surgery will be the primary interest until such a time that there is the opportunity to learn another little bit of the story. Not once have I seen anything documented.
