In this episode I caught up with Trish Farry, clinical academic at the University of Queensland. Trish was on my radar from when this podcast started forming in my brain in early 2018. At the time she was the 2017 Hills Vet Nurse of the Year. Since then I've had the pleasure of meeting Trish through VNCA circles and seeing her speak at conference.
Trish has a varied role at the university with some time on floor at the hospital, some teaching undergrad vet science and vet tech students, academic research, and mentoring for the vet tech program. She is one of those positive global forces in our industry sitting on numerous international veterinary emergency and critical care technicians boards and committees, and the current VNCA board of directors.
Anaesthesia is such an important part of the veterinary nurse's role, and Trish really knows her stuff. I took the liberty of picking her brain on the topic and hope that you find her practical information useful, and enjoy our chats in general, just as much as I did.
We discussed:
