Focal Point: the Vet Solutions podcast

In this episode of Focal Point, Sam and Amy from the Vet Solutions team are joined by Laura Jones, host of the Medical Nursing Podcast, to discuss the fundamentals of endoscopy for veterinary nurses.
In the first of this two-part collaboration, we explore the different types of endoscopes, what the equipment does, and how to prepare and handle it with confidence. We also discuss cleaning and caring for your equipment after a procedure. Whether you are new to endoscopy or looking to make better use of the equipment in your practice, this episode offers a practical starting point.

Look out for part two, where we will explore the nursing role during endoscopy, including anaesthesia, monitoring, assisting and sample collection.
