Elisabeth Richardson MRCVS, Senior Clinical Training Scholar in Veterinary Anaesthesia at Queen’s Veterinary School Hospital, University of Cambridge, is conducting a new survey designed to give a deeper insight into the conduct of anaesthetic monitoring in small animal practice in the United Kingdom.

All practising veterinary nurses and student nurses are invited to take part in the survey, the purpose of which is to ascertain the extent of anaesthetic monitoring, attitudes towards it and how confident people monitoring anaesthetics are.

The survey also aims to identify particular strengths and any areas of weakness, with the overall objective being to optimise vet and nurse student education and promote professional development if necessary.

The survey, which is anonymous, can be found at: https://goo.gl/Vwq1CJ. It should take 5-10 minutes to complete.

Elisabeth said: “I’d like to emphasise that all veterinary nurses and student nurses are invited and encouraged to take part. Your opinions and experiences are extremely important to us, and we’re very grateful for your help with the survey.”
