May is Veterinary Nurse Awareness Month

You are invited to join us to celebrate RVN awareness month at our Leavesden branch. There will be a coffee morning on 28th May 11:15 to 13:00.

Our nurses are an integral part of Park Vets. Clients are not often aware of the importance of our nurses. Here are a few examples of their vital roles:

• Monitoring all animals closely under general anaesthetic
• Sterilising and organising all surgical instruments ready for every surgical procedure.
• Monitoring all patients closely after any general anaesthetic and ensuring that they are kept warm and comfortable
• Placing intravenous catheters prior to anaesthesia
• Lancing cat abscesses
• Positioning patients for x-rays
• Monitoring blood pressure and pulse
• Administering worming tablets and other oral medication
• Bandaging
• Clipping fur prior to blood collection
• Blood collection
• General tlc and wonderful care of all our inpatients!
