An annual campaign to celebrate what it means to be a veterinary nurse, which was started by BVNA (The British Veterinary Nursing Association) and takes place throughout the month of May every year.

This year, the campaign theme is โ€˜Compassion and Empathyโ€™ where we will reflect the dedication and passion required to both train and practice as a veterinary nurse. Plus, highlight the compassion towards patients and people which underpins the skilled care provided by veterinary nurses every day.

Veterinary nurses undergo rigorous practical and theoretical training (either by degree or diploma) to qualify as a Registered Veterinary Nurse. The role is very diverse including:

๐Ÿด Diagnostics
๐Ÿ˜ท Theatre
๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€โš•๏ธ Intensive care nursing
๐Ÿ’‰Medicating
โณTriaging
๐Ÿซถ Neonatal care
๐Ÿš˜ Assisting vets in clinic and on the road
๐Ÿ“ž Reception duties

Veterinary nurses must maintain a minimum of 15 hours a year in continuous professional development to maintain their registration on top of their working career. We are very grateful for our amazing team at Abbey Equine Clinic - Karen Williams Head Nurse, Michelle Siggers Veterinary Nurse, Cara Comperat and Sian Warman Equine Technicians ๐Ÿคฉ

Did you know we have regular visits from Jeremy Kemp-Symonds of Sarcoid Surgery Limited to perform laser surgery on sarcoids, melanomas and skin tumours ๐Ÿฅฝ

The process of CO2 laser surgery is done either under standing sedation or general anaesthesia depending on the location, size and position on the lesion, and electrochemotherapy can also be offered if required.

๐Ÿ’‰ Not a Live Vaccine: Contains only sub-units of the bacteria that trigger immunity but cannot cause strangles - your horse will not get a mild version of the disease

๐Ÿ”ฌ No Interference with Testing: Strangvac โ„ข does not affect results from blood tests or guttural pouch testing for strangles.

๐Ÿด Highly Effective: The vaccine will not stop horses becoming infected with Strangles however will significantly reduce the risk of moderate to severe disease, which helps curb the spread within the population.

๐Ÿ“ Proven Safety: It is safe with a low recorded reaction rate of 5%, with only mild, short-lived side effects in most cases.

๐Ÿงช Completely New Vaccine: Strangvacโ„ข is unrelated to the older strangles vaccine from 10+ years ago.

๐Ÿ“ž We have plenty of stock at the clinic through Dechra UK so please give us a call to discuss 01873 840069

We have reviewed our practice protocol in light of the current outbreak and issued the following information:

๐Ÿด If you are bringing your horse into the clinic please take it's temperature before you travel - if over 38.5c please call us before you travel
๐Ÿ“˜ Upon arrival at the clinic please do not unload your horse until you have reported to reception and presented your horse's vaccination records
โ›” Do not bring your horse to the clinic if they (or any horse on the same yard) are displaying any clinical signs of infectious disease (high temperature, cough, nasal discharge, lethargic)
๐Ÿ˜ท We will always attend your horse at your own premises even if they are displaying clinical signs as we will take more precautions
โŒ If your horse is not vaccinated we cannot admit into the hospital but you can be seen as a day patient
๐Ÿ’‰ If your horse is not vaccinated for Flu (and Tetanus) we strongly recommend that you start the course
