Podcasts about queen mother hospital

This episode is part of our oncology mini-series on VETchat by The Webinar Vet. Joining Anthony today is Nicola Read, Head Oncology Nurse at the Clinical Science and Services Department at the Queen Mother Hospital for Small Animals. In this episode, Anthony and Nicola discuss oncology from a veterinary nurse perspective. Nicola shares her journey in becoming an oncology nurse and discusses the different aspects of her role. She explains the typical day in the life of an oncology nurse, including working with new cases and restaging patients. Nicola also talks about the importance of managing nausea in cancer patients and the medications used to prevent and treat it. They emphasise the collaborative approach between veterinary nurses, veterinarians, and owners in providing the best care for animals with cancer. Finally, they discuss the challenges of end-of-life care and the importance of communication and support during this difficult time.

This winter marks 10 years since the first cases of cutaneous and renal glomerular vasculopathy – commonly known as Alabama rot – in the UK. Since then, almost 300 cases have been confirmed across 47 UK counties. The disease has a 90% mortality rate. As research into the disease continues, we're joined by David Walker of Anderson Moores Veterinary Specialists in Hampshire. David is the UK's foremost authority on the disease – and in this podcast, he takes us on a journey from when it was first recognised in the US in the 1980s, through to its emergence in the UK and trends seen with cases. He also discusses the ongoing research. During this podcast, David refers to images and an animation in the webinar. This can be watched in our new Alabama rot collection on Vet Times CPD+, alongside a gallery of images and additional resources. https://cpd.vettimes.co.uk/cpd-plus/companion-animal/cpd-alabama-rot ________________

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected us all in many ways, and one of the effects we have seen is the impact on the human-animal bond. In this Vet Times Extra podcast, Jon Bowen, behaviour consultant at the RVC, discusses the behavioural problems seen during the pandemic and the impact these have had on owners, as well as vets and vet nurses. Dr Bowen also talks about the importance of canine infectious respiratory disease complex (CIRDC) vaccination when our canine patients are returning to socialising again, and how we can make these veterinary visits less stressful for the dogs, their owners and the veterinary team. ______________________ Jon Bowen graduated from the RVC in 1992 and spent several years in general practice. He is behaviour consultant at the RVC's Queen Mother Hospital for Animals, and sees referral cases from all over south-east England. He is currently newsletter editor for the Companion Animal Behaviour Therapy Study Group, and has coauthored a text book of behavioural medicine. ______________________ SPONSORED This podcast is sponsored by Zoetis, makers of Versican Plus BB Oral, the UK's first oral companion animal vaccine.

He speaks to the Vet Times Podcast about those research efforts, including the clinical signs to look out for. –   CRGV was previously reported in greyhounds in the US during the 1980s and 1990s. In the UK, 193 cases have been reported in the UK, with 92% of cases coming between the months of November and May. It is often characterised by ulceration of the distal extremities in dogs, and is invariably associated with clinically significant renal azotaemia secondary to acute kidney injury. In 2018, 52 cases were confirmed in the UK, with 40 in 2017. As of the time of releasing this podcast (6 December 2019), 18 cases had been confirmed in the UK in 2019. Anderson Moores, and its owner Vets4Pets, are at the forefront of work on CRGV. Anderson Moores’ website features a veterinary information sheet [http://bit.ly/35YfNWy] that details background on the disease and guidance on how clinicians can potentially diagnose it.
