VetNurse Reactions now gives members a quick and easy way to say 'thank you' for sharing something in the forums or the photo/video galleries, and, in the future, for VetNurse.co.uk to reward those members whose contributions are most appreciated by the community.

In addition to saying 'thank you', members can also say they 'agree' or 'disagree' with the content of a post, a far more precise expression than the previous rating system, in which 'one star' which could be interpreted as meaning almost anything.

VetNurse Reactions also give you a quick and easy measure of how much a contributor has been thanked, agreed with or disagreed with by other members.

With a number of new features introduced over the last year, VetNurse.co.uk now offers far more compelling reasons to hold clinical discussions in its forums, rather than other other social media platforms:

  • VetNurse Profiles are visible to all logged in members, so you can see the professional credentials of the person who posted advice or opinion. 

  • VetNurse 'Claim CPD' allows you to record time spent in clinical discussions, and claim a downloadable VetNurse CPD certificate towards your annual CPD requirement.

  • VetNurse forum discussions are far, far easier to follow and refer back to than Facebook discussion threads, which are more transient in nature.

VetNurse.co.uk Editor Arlo Guthrie added: "As for 'thank you', I don’t know why I didn’t think of it years ago. 'Thank you' is something missing from almost every other social media platform I’ve ever seen, and yet it’s SUCH an important courtesy. 

"So, remember, if you see something on VetNurse posted by another member which you found helpful, don’t forget to hit the 'thank you' button. If they’ve had one of those days when every client seems utterly thankless, some appreciation from their peers might make a lousy day bearable."
