Do any other nurses have experience of safari nurse consults?

Dan Lidgbird — Sat, 27 Jul 2024 13:04:43 GMT

My practice is just about to start engaging with nurse led Vaccination consultations, under the Safari method of nursing.
If successful we plan to then add in nurse led Euthanasia and other services. Do any other nurses have any experiences of this, along with any feedback be it positive or negative?

Any Farm RVNs out there?

Hi! I was wondering if within the community there are any other Farm Animal RVN's? I work solely in Large Animal practice and would be keen to connect with others who are in the same area of clinical practice. It would be great, if in the future, there was a Large Animal pathway. I know there is the Vet Tech apprenticeship, but this does not allow schedule 3 procedures, it is more about data collation etc.
