VN Times Podcast, Ep 15: wound care and management, with Amanda Curtis

VN Times editor Rachael Buzzel sits down with RVN and university lecturer Amanda Curtis to discuss wound care, management and the VN’s role in this complicated process. There are a lot of factors to consider when it comes to wound care and it is important vet nurses understand what can go wrong when caring for these injuries. Amanda Curtis talks us through the process and, in particular, how to keep a step ahead of the sometimes tricky biofilms. _________________ 𝗦𝗣𝗢𝗡𝗦𝗢𝗥𝗘𝗗 This month’s podcast is sponsored by Essity.
