Medical Nursing Podcast | CPD for Veterinary Nurses Laura Jones RVN VTS(IM-SA)

Today I’m VERY excited, because in this episode of the Medical Nursing Podcast we’re starting a brand new series, all about the endocrine system. 
If hormones give you a headache and you just can’t quite make sense of all of those glands, you’ll leave today’s episode with a much clearer understanding of how this fascinating system works.

In this week’s episode of the Medical Nursing Podcast we’re talking all about urinary incontinence.
This is a really common urinary disorder and it’s not just our older dogs who are affected by it - it’s seen commonly in younger patients, too, and nurses are often heavily involved in their diagnostics, treatment, and ongoing care.
If you’ve ever thought that managing these cases is as simple as ‘dispense Propalin, and then discharge’, this episode is for you. We’ll look at what commonly causes urinary incontinence in dogs, some of the more weird and wonderful treatments we can use to manage urinary incontinence, as well as the nursing skills these patients benefit from.

Urinary tract tumours are a common cause of lower urinary tract signs in older patients, and these patients benefit from extensive nursing care—not just at the time of diagnosis but for the rest of their lives, too, to give them the best possible quality of life for as long as possible. 
On this episode of the Medical Nursing Podcast, I’m joined by Inge Breatnach, aka @oncologyrvn. Inge and l look at what these tumours are, the signs they cause in our patients, and the treatment and nursing care these patients need.

In this week’s episode of the Medical Nursing Podcast, we’re chatting all about prostatic disease! 
Prostatic disease is a common cause of stranguria, haematuria and even recurrent UTIs, especially in older male dogs, especially entire males. 
And there are many nursing skills we can use in the diagnosis and treatment of prostatic disease. Today, we’ll look at them all, what prostatic diseases we see, and the nursing care these patients benefit from.

Urinary stones are a common cause of lower urinary tract disease in cats and dogs. 
From catheterising obstructive uroliths to performing contrast imaging studies to advising clients about dissolution diets, nurses can use so many skills when caring for these patients. 
But to successfully treat them and plan great care, we need to know exactly what urolith our patient has and the treatment they respond to - which is precisely what we’ll be chatting about in today’s episode of the Medical Nursing Podcast!
