Beyond the Clinic – a podcast by and for vet professionals
Veterinary nurse host Liz Cox and Head Nurse Rebecca Draper discuss the pivotal role vet nurses play in dentistry. Rebecca explains how nurses can significantly impact all aspects from the initial consult to the dental procedure and the ongoing patient care. Together they discuss dental staging and how this way of working can reap huge benefits in practice to the team, the patient and to pet owners. Rebecca offers advice to nurses looking to develop their skills in dentistry.
