The emerging role of Veterinary nursing for providing high quality
management of the care and welfare of patients in animal clinics in India, was
discussed by the Jeanne Marchig Centre animal welfare team working alongside
colleagues from the Kerala Veterinary and Animal Science University, at the
KVASU Pookode campus last week. Presentations covering subjects such as:
effective pain management, assessing welfare in a clinical setting and the work
of the veterinary nurse, were provided to staff and final year students from
both of the KVASU campuses. The outcome of the meeting was a commitment from
accompanying colleagues from Edinburgh Napier University to work closely with
Edinburgh University’s JMICAWE animal welfare nurse, Hayley Walters, to develop
a veterinary nursing exchange project involving Napier veterinary nurse degree
students, to work with small animal veterinary teams in Kerala to demonstrate
the way in which veterinary nursing improves the care and welfare of animals
before, during and after surgery or treatment.
Hayley Walters –
Welfare veterinary nurse said:
‘We are extremely
excited to have the opportunity to work collaboratively with our Edinburgh and
Kerala colleagues to develop the field of veterinary nursing in India, and to
demonstrate the important role well educated veterinary nurses can have in
improving the animal’s experience within the veterinary clinic’.
