    152 Erythrocytosis

    Joining Brian and myself in our studio we are delighted to have Dr Catriona Jenkinson join us. Catriona is one of our fantastic internal medicine residents here at the RVC. Cat gave a talk to the hospital on erythrocytosis and thought that it would have interest to a wider audience, not a common condition, though how often can you prescribe a course of leeches? We hope that you enjoy.

    145 RECOVER update 2024 CPR guidelines

    Joining Brian and myself in our virtual studio we are overwhelmed to be in the company of the magnificent, internationally renowned Professor Dan Fletcher, from the College of Veterinary Medicine, Cornell University. Dr Fletcher with his co-chairs Dr Boller, Dr Burkitt and Program Director Ken Yagi have collated the evidence to provide the veterinary community with evidence-based guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in dogs and cats. The original guidelines came out in 2012, and the scope of this initiative is wide and their coverage immense. Ploughing back proceeds into educational development tools, in-person training, research database, apps, and simulation training, computer programmes and of course new guidelines. Do you know what you need to know, when you need to know it? If not have a listen and then download and read the guidelines and put up the algorithm posters on your walls, and if you can take the course. It was great to talk to Prof Fletcher about this, inspirational. We hope that you enjoy.
