VN Times editor Rachael Buzzel is joined by RVN and chair of the Veterinary Critical Care Nurses (VCCN) region of the British Association of Critical Care Nurses (BACCN), Laura Edwards. Laura shares with us plans for the coming year, and explains how the collaboration between human and animal nurses can open the doors to incredible opportunities and possibilities for both professions. _________________ 𝗟𝗔𝗨𝗥𝗔 𝗘𝗗𝗪𝗔𝗥𝗗𝗦 𝗕𝗔 𝗥𝗩𝗡 𝗔𝗙𝗛𝗘𝗔 Laura has worked for the Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies at The University of Edinburgh since 2011.
