Congratulations 🎈

After years of planning, writing and editing - it's here.

I’m proud to have authored three chapters in the latest Veterinary Anaesthesia Nursing textbook!

I’ve shared my excitement and passion for veterinary nurses to know more and do more regarding understanding ECGs and Breathing Systems, and our role in patient monitoring during the Anaesthetic Recovery Period.
