A reminder about the Bristol Vet School careers day on Friday 4th Feb 2022. If you’re thinking of taking on a new grad or EMS student next year, please make sure you get job / placement details to me by early Jan. I’ve also made a note to ask about the interview process for new students!

hi all, we’re thinking of buying a new gastroscope so had a snoop around at London vet show but wondered if anyone has any recommendations? I’ve heard of a few issues with certain ones being unreliable and not switching on properly which is not what you want having starved a horse for 16 hours! thanks, Kate
we use Paul Duncan VESCO for scopes. bought a new one recently – make sure you ask re loan scope availability – we now have one with a decent pool of loan scopes- scopes are v temperamental creatures

It will be a focus for the Vetsure team over the coming months to collate ideas and information about how to make…[Read more]
Hi Sarah, we’ve changed all our kennel beds to Tuffies mattresses instead of vet beds. Not only are they more comfortable for the patients, but it has also vastly reduced our washing and tumble drying – saved on time for the team too so win win! Would love to hear what others are doing.
What a fantastic idea @diane-storer and thank you for being the first contributor to what I hope will come an extensive document of ideas we can all start to implement to make a positive impact! Thank you so much.
hi Sarah. one of my nurses has done a lot of research on this for me and we have changed quite a lot of things happy to pass the info from example biodegradable bags, biodegradable gloves…
Thank you so much Natalie!

We know that many corporates have closed sites over the last 18 months. But does anybody have any experience of what is happening to these sites? Are they leased to new vet practices? Are they leased to other businesses? Any insights appreciated.
Latest I heard the one I know of has just been abandoned

I need colleagues – vets and especially nurses please – to guide me on purchasing some new drip pumps. the ones we have been using – Niki V4 Infusion Pumps – came with an animalcare fluids deal, and have been good and are simple , but they cannot be repaired any longer except at twice the price they were bought at!! We have a N-HAWK-100VET…[Read more]
my last drip pump came via burtons for purchasing 500 giving sets. It seems quite good and was a good offer if they are still running it?
I’ve contacted a few people Steve, I’ll post their feedback on here when I receive it.
thanks sarah and thanks rory – are you referring to the Burtons EN-V5 Infusion Pump Kit?
