What does everyone use for covering foam x-ray wedges?

Sophie Thomas — Tue, 22 Oct 2024 19:27:34 GMT

Hi everyone !

What does everyone use for covering foam x-ray wedges ? I’ve been just washing them after use but hate them being covered in hair. I’ve tried sticky back plastic but it makes lines on the radiographs .

Thanks in advance for the ideas :)

Anyone know how to fix black rubber table mat stickiness?

Robyn — Tue, 30 Apr 2024 13:34:19 GMT

Hey all,

The black rubber mats on our exam tables ahve all gotten really sticky recently. It might be down to too-concentrated Anistel being used, we're not sure, but does anyone have any secret magic solutions to the stickiness before we replace them? They're older and stuck to the tabletops so just flipping them over isn't an option unfortunately.

Cheers!

Does anyone have ultrasonic cleaner instructions or an SOP?

Selena Carnell — Sun, 07 Apr 2024 08:53:22 GMT

We have a ultrasonic cleaner at work but we all use it on different settings, and as we now have two CSL students I would like us all to be using it correctly. One person heats it up the other doesn't, one does 6 mins, the other does 12. Does anyone have a SOP or instructions for one of these things as in over 20yrs this is the first practice that actually uses it. Thanks

Do you think this is offensive?

The latest DC hearing caught my eye. Overall, it seems fairly obvious that the vet nurse in question was bang to rights: she clearly pretended to be a vet, and some of her posts I think most people would judge to be, well, if not offensive then certainly inflammatory, unprofessional and not showing the profession in a good light.

Still, some of the comments that the DC objected to seem quite tame to me: https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/b/veterinary-nursing-news/posts/vet-nurse-removed-from-register-for-posing-as-vet-and-making-discriminatory-statements-on-social-media

I mean, the first two for example??? In fact, in Schedule 1, there are quite a few that I would judge as neither offensive nor impersonating a vet.

It's so subjective, I cant help feeling that regulating for 'offensive' is a very, very difficult area.

What do you think?
