๐ฌ For our final week of Veterinary Nursing Awareness Month we're highlighting one of our most vital behind-the-scenes skills: laboratory work and sampling.
From collecting the perfect blood sample to spinning down a centrifuge and reading results, vet nurses are the backbone of in-house diagnostics. ๐ฉธ
Here's just some of what we do every single day:
๐งช Sample collection โ venepuncture, urine collection, ear cytology, skin scrapes. Precision, patience, and excellent patient handling every time.
๐ In-house analysis โ haematology, biochemistry, urinalysis, blood smears. We don't just run the machines โ we understand what we're looking at.
๐ฆ External lab prep โ correct tubes, accurate labelling, packaging and liaising with labs to get answers fast for our patients.
๐ Interpreting & communicating results โ flagging abnormals, supporting vets with clinical decision-making, and keeping owners informed.
Good diagnostics saves lives. And behind every result is a vet nurse who collected, processed, and cared about that sample from the moment it left the patient. ๐
This month, we celebrate the skill, knowledge, and dedication that veterinary nurses bring to every single shift.
