Contextualised Care And Cats

This month Yaiza Gomez-Meijas is joined by Dr Ryane Englar who has published two articles on 'Recasting the gold standard' that were published in the JFMS special collection on Accessible veterinary care. We also continue our discussion about the treatment of invasive fungal infections with Nathalie Dowgray and Prof. Vanessa Barrs.Our first conversation between Yaiza and Ryane features a discussion on the continuum of care in veterinary medicine, emphasizing a shift from the gold standard approach to more tailored and patient-centred care. Additionally, it delves into strategies for initiating conversations with clients about healthcare options and case management decisions.The conversation on contextualised care also continues into the discussion on the treatment of invasive fungal infections where Prof. Barrs discusses drug selection and how to best approach these discussions with owners where the treatment options are often prolonged. Make sure you check out part one of our interview with Prof. Barrs in our January episode (entitled: ‘FCoV-23: Is it driving the Cyprus FIP Outbreak?’) in which we discuss the diagnosis of invasive fungal infections.For further reading material please visit:https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/epub/10.1177/1098612X231209855https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/epub/10.1177/1098612X231215639https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1098612X231219696https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1098612X231220047View The Transcript HereFor ISFM members, full recordings of each episode of the podcast is available for you to listen to at portal.icatcare.org.
