The Consulting Veterinary Nurse

“From handling senior pet clinics to client compliance and education, this covers clinics organized for a range of animal conditions and is written by an experienced senior vet nurse. Any veterinary collection will find this filled
with specifics.”  (Bookwatch, 1 January 2013) 

“The Consulting Veterinary Nurse’ is a highly informative, well-written book and deserves its place in the practice library or, better still, the nurses’ consultation room.”  (Veterinary Record, 2 February 2013)

The Consulting Veterinary Nurse is a useful reference for all veterinary nurses who run clinics in their practice. The Author, Nicola Ackerman, is an experienced Registered Veterinary Nurse and she has drawn on her knowledge to provide a comprehensive guide, which includes information on how to run efficient and effective well pet clinics and medical clinics. The book contains a wealth of information on all aspects of running a clinic, including: how to provide clients and patients with an excellent level care; the answers to questions which clients frequently ask in a clinic; how to gather a patient’s history; carrying out an examination and the necessary equipment for this - along with a list of common abbreviations.  Nicola also discusses the role of the veterinary nurse and the consideration of nutritional and behavioral issues within the setting of a veterinary nurse-lead clinic. This book will be a useful reference for veterinary nurses who are experienced in running clinics and those who are just starting out, alike. - Helen Farrant on behalf of the BVNA
