Dogs - and cats - with chronic intermittent gastrointestinal signs are a common population in small animal practice! What's to be done? How should we approach these patients? In this podcast I discuss these questions with Dr Karin Allenspach, Associate Professor and Reader in Small Animal Internal Medicine and Head of the Clinical Investigation Centre (CIC) at the RVC. Karin has a special interest in gastroenterology and especially in canine inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) which we go on to discuss in more detail here.

Anyone for some blood? Or how about some plasma? Transfusion medicine is a developing field in small animal practice as access to blood products increases - at least in some countries - and no doubt this trend is set to continue. In this podcast we discuss topics such as what transfusion medicine is and what the main indications are as well as some of the practical considerations with respect to administration. We also discuss blood banks and blood donors. Oh, and the small matter of changing our terminology for canine blood types! I am joined in this podcast by Karen Humm who is a Lecturer in Emergency & Critical Care (ECC) at the QMHA and a co-Director of the Transfusion Medicine service. During the podcast Karen also gives us a brief overview of the Transfusion Medicine service at the QMHA.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a common problem in cats and dogs, especially as they get older. In the first podcast on CKD we discussed topics such as the anatomy and function of the kidney, why the kidney may become dysfunctional and what the consequences are, some terminology, and causes of kidney disease. In this second part we will look at clinical aspects of CKD in terms of patient approach and management, covering topics such as suspecting and making the diagnosis, IRIS staging, treatment and prognosis. I am joined once again by Dr Rosanne Jepson who is a Lecturer in Internal Medicine at the RVC and also a member of the Renal Replacement Therapy team at the QMHA. Rosanne has a special interest in nephrology in particular.
As mentioned in the podcast, do check out the International Renal Interest Society (IRIS) website.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a common problem in cats and dogs, especially as they get older. In this first of two podcasts on CKD we discuss topics such as the anatomy and function of the kidney, why the kidney may become dysfunctional and what the consequences are, some terminology, and causes of kidney disease. In the second part we will look at clinical aspects of CKD in terms of patient approach and management. I am joined for both episodes once again by Dr Rosanne Jepson who is a Lecturer in Internal Medicine at the RVC and also a member of the Renal Replacement Therapy team at the QMHA. Rosanne has a special interest in nephrology in particular.

Everyone knows that the nurses are really in charge!!...Having already undergone some substantial changes over the last two decades or so, veterinary nursing in the United Kingdom remains in the midst of changing times as nurses continue to work for greater recognition, endorsement and accountability. This podcast features Hayley Carne BSc (Hons) RVN Grad Dip, Assistant Lecturer in Veterinary Nursing at the Royal Veterinary College.
Some of the things we discuss include how to become a veterinary nurse, potential career options, procedures and treatments registered nurses are allowed to do, and CPD requirements. We also touch on some more potentially contentious issues such as what impact the move towards greater qualification may have on attitudes towards basic patient care, and the future for individuals who have worked as veterinary nurses for some time without formal qualification.

Foundation Degree in Veterinary Nursing BSc in Veterinary Nursing Graduate Diploma
