Handling emergency cases can be both one of the most demanding and rewarding experiences for a veterinary nurse or technician.

As nurses and techs, you must act quickly and efficiently while managing your own stress and that of your patients and owners.

Effective communication is also crucial in emergencies. Nurses and techs teams must quickly gather information from pet owners, communicate clearly with the vet, and provide concise updates on the patient’s status, alongside their skilled care.

So how can you boost your confidence and reduce your stress when emergency cases walk through the door? Learn more on the blog 👇.

It’s , so let’s take a minute to talk about men’s health!

Around 40% of poor health in men can be prevented by making healthier lifestyle choices!

Want to reduce your risk of becoming a statistic? Try to:

🏃 Move more - exercise reduces the risk of almost all chronic conditions
🍎 Eat well - eating a balanced and healthy diet is a great way to improve your health
😴 Sleep - research shows that getting enough sleep can improve both your physical and mental health
🆘 Stress less - while not all stress is bad, chronic and persistent stress has been linked to a range of health conditions

We get that especially for those in the veterinary profession, work is busy (and often stressful), and making time for your health can be hard. If that sounds familiar, then this is your gentle reminder that it’s NOT selfish to priortise your health.

For those who are new here, welcome! We thought we'd reintroduce our team so you know a little more about us. So here's a little bit about our wonderful leader: Director of Operations, Dr Carmel Griffin...

“One of my core values is the love and care of animals – and being a vet was my only career choice! After graduation from the University of Queensland and early GP work, I finished a residency in feline medicine (University of Liverpool), concurrently with the RCVS Cert in Small Animal Medicine and the ANZCVS Membership in Medicine of Cats.

Big passions for clinical teaching, undergraduate education & all aspects of small animal medicine followed. I held various clinical teaching roles and completed the Grad Cert in Clinical Education while working at the University of Queensland Vet Teaching Hospital.

A sea change and career break lead to a return to private practice and an exciting new opportunity in the post-graduate veterinary education space, working with the Improve International Group.

I am now Director of Operations of the team in Australia and have seen our small but mighty team grow our skills and passion in the veterinary education space.
My goal is that education should be meaningful, practical and give opportunity for career engagement, professional growth AND better care for our patients!”

06/05/2024

A report by the Australian Veterinary Association found that over 30% of vets were thinking of leaving the profession due to stress, anxiety and poor work conditions.
As vets, the job you do is *so* important, but this is a gentle reminder that your mental health matters too.

You can help to reduce workplace stress and improve your work-life balance by:
✅ not taking on too many stressful things at once
✅ making time for a break during your work day
✅ limiting overtime
✅ not taking work home with you (tricky, we know!)
✅ taking regular holidays
✅ making time for things you enjoy, like spending time with family, hobbies or sport
✅ trying relaxation techniques, such as meditation or mindfulness

If you're struggling, it might help to talk to somebody you trust, your doctor or a mental health professional.

You can also talk to your employer and find out if your workplace has an Employee Assistance Program (EAP). This is a service that provides counselling and help with your mental health. It is usually available at no cost to you.

If you need to talk to someone urgently, you can call Lifeline 24hrs a day on 13 11 14.

Remember, your mental health matters!

Want to improve your abdominal ultrasound skills? Join us in July for our Next Steps in Ultrasound workshop.

Over this Fast Track weekend, you will learn the ‘next steps’ in ultrasonography. This course will see you becoming fully familiar with scanning the normal anatomy and becoming comfortable with a detailed exam.

The program includes various tips and techniques from our imaging specialist on the landmarks to identify the pancreas, adrenal glands, peritoneal lymph nodes and more advanced scanning of the gastrointestinal tract.

We also cover:
✅ Use of Doppler for examination of larger abdominal blood vessels
✅ Invasive ultrasound diagnostics and practice biopsy techniques
✅ Point of care ultrasound techniques (POCUS)
✅ Much, much more!

Both days include practical ‘hands-on’ scanning, accompanying notes and resources and the opportunity to liaise closely with the internal medicine and imaging specialist involved. Small group sizes mean you get *lots* of time on the equipment, giving you the confidence to take your new found skills straight back to the clinic!
Want to join us? Our last workshop sold out and places are running out for this weekend, so sign up now to avoid disappointment! Head to our website to secure your place: https://improveinternational.com.au/course/next-steps-in-ultrasound/

NOTE: This workshop is for those who have the general examination techniques and may have just mastered the fundamentals of abdominal ultrasound. Ideally this course is a follow on from our Introduction to Abdominal Ultrasound.

"Improve's Small Animal Medicine course was everything I was hoping for and more. It was invaluable to be able to ask questions to specialists. The technical support was amazing too.

Personally, my confidence increased by knowing that I am recommending gold standard treatments that are up to date. Better patient outcomes now make my shifts more enjoyable. And this has benefited not only myself and my patients, but also our whole hospital by improving both staff and client's satisfaction."

- Leonora Vargas, Small Animal Medicine Program Graduate

It’s so we thought we’d take a few minutes to remind all our incredible veterinary colleagues that YOU’RE AMAZING!

This year’s theme is ‘veterinarians are essential health workers’, highlighting the fact that veterinary science contributes not only to animal health and well-being but also to the physical, mental and social well-being of humans!

This scope of a vet’s work often remains invisible to the wider society, but protecting and improving the health of individuals and their communities is an essential part of the vet profession.

So for all that you do - THANK YOU! 🐶🐨🐰🐱
