Radio Vet Nurse

Hi and welcome to episode 3 of “Registered”, I’m Cat Walker. If you missed episodes 1 and 2 of “Registered” you might want to go back and listen from the start. We’re at the halfway point of this 4 episode mini-series. In this episode we’ll be unpacking 2 concepts that have come up a lot over the last episodes. And those are - autonomy and utilisation. So, what is autonomy and why is it important? What is utilisation and what does it mean for veterinary nurses and technicians working in clinics? And what are some of the knock on effects of better utilisation for our patients, colleagues, and the veterinary businesses?  But, before we consider those concepts, I mentioned in the first episode that not everyone is onboard with registration. I don’t want to push a one-sided view that registration will only be good, so we need to look at some of the boundaries to getting on board with registration. Thanks for joining me on Radio Vet Nurse Registered. This series may be uncomfortable at times, but I believe that the time to get registered is here and I thank you for joining me on the journey. I would like to thank Vetoquinol and Vet Complaints Support for their sponsorship of the “Registered” mini series.

Hi and welcome to episode 2 of the “Registered” mini series, I’m Cat Walker. If you missed episode 1 of “Registered” you might want to take 30 minutes to go back and listen to episode 1.   Last episode we looked at the legal and regulatory framework for veterinary medicine in Australia. We unpacked definitions and theory on the key issues surrounding registration, and became familiar with the VNCA, AVNAT and the AVBC. We considered how the registration of veterinary nurses and technicians is linked to the other big industry issues and I shared my personal belief that it is only in coming together that we have the power to make a change for good. In this episode I’ll be introducing you to more people who can inspire change in rethinking the regulatory frameworks and the need for nationally recognised mandatory registration. We’re going to talk about professional status and protection of title. What are they, and why are they so important? We’re in the land down under here and sometimes it’s useful to know what’s going on in the rest of the world. We’ll head overseas for a minute and see what’s happening with our vet nurse and technician brothers and sisters in the States and the UK. Thanks for joining me on Radio Vet Nurse Registered. This series may be uncomfortable at times, but I believe that the time to get registered is here and I thank you for joining me on the journey. I would like to thank Vetoquinol and Vet Complaints Support for their sponsorship of the “Registered” mini series. Coming up in the next episode I’ll be looking at how registration will improve autonomy and utilisation, unpacking those concepts, and explaining why they’re important. We’ll also talk about some of the boundaries to getting on board with registration and what we can do about them. See you in a week.  

Hi and welcome to Radio Vet Nurse Registered, I’m Cat Walker. For those of you that have listened to my podcast in the past, welcome back! It’s so good to be here with you again. If you missed my last podcast mini series, you might want to take 30 minutes to listen to episode 1 of Radio Vet Nurse “Interrupted”. It will explain why this episode sounds different to the original Radio Vet Nurse show and, for first time listeners, it will bring you up to speed on my story.   It’s been nearly 2 years since the launch of “Interrupted” and that series has clocked almost 8,000 downloads. There are so many other topics that I think are worth peeling open in an “Interrupted” style podcast series, which is how this “Registered” mini series came about. I’m going to take a deep dive into the topic of registration for vet nurses and technicians in Australia and the road to professionalisation. I decided to focus on this topic first because there is no doubt in my mind that a national and mandatory registration framework for vet nurses and technicians is key to tackling multiple industry challenges. I really think this is the issue that underpins so many. I’m aware that it’s an issue that causes anxiety for some people, so we’re going to look at why people are for it, why some might be against it, and hopefully provide some reassurance that it’s going to be set up in such a way that the people with anxieties don’t have to be worried. Thanks for joining me on Radio Vet Nurse Registered. This series may be uncomfortable at times, but I believe that the time to get registered is here and I thank you for joining me on the journey. I would like to thank Vetoquinol and Vet Complaints Support for their sponsorship of the “Registered” mini series. Coming up in the next episode I’ll be zooming out and taking a look at WHY we might want to be registered professionals under a mandatory registration scheme. Thank you for joining me.

Welcome to the first ever episode of “The Cat Walker Hour.” I recorded this interview in July 2023 in front of a live audience at the University of Queensland’s Veterinary Nurses and Technicians Conference. My VERY special guests were Megan Brashear and Elle Haskey. The Cat Walker Hour is a light-hearted but serious session that I hope will empower and inspire listeners to navigate the challenges and opportunities we encounter in our careers. In a time where it feels like we’re exposed to a lot of industry negativity, this is a feel-good celebration of who we are and what we do.

Hi and welcome to Radio Vet Nurse Interrupted, I'm Cat Walker. Over the past three episodes I've taken a deep dive into the vet industry to look at the factors that are contributing to the current crisis. It's been uncomfortable at times and all of the guests I've interviewed have been vulnerable and very honest. But what now? We know the cause, we know the challenges ahead, and we know what some of the most influential people in the industry are trying to do to create lasting change. In this final episode of this series, I'd like to take a look at what we might be able to do to help ourselves personally stay afloat. What changes can we make to how we operate to help our day to day working lives, and those of our peers. Thanks for joining me on Radio Vet Nurse Interrupted. This series may be uncomfortable at times - but I really believe the disruption is here and I thank you for joining me on the journey.

On the previous episodes of Radio Vet Nurse Interrupted, I shared the way the vet industry crisis has affected my life personally and I also spoke to industry leaders and experts about the biggest stressors that are leading to this crisis. If you haven't listened yet, I suggest you head back to catch up. Today I wanted to start looking to the future and will be speaking with everyone from directors, to counsellors, to the President of the AVA to get their take on what they think the industry can do to make lasting change. Dr Warwick Vale and I discuss the Australian Veterinary Association's partnership with SuperFriend including research and findings.

On the previous episode of Radio Vet Nurse Interrupted I shared the story of how my world was turned upside down when my now ex husband, and father of my children, developed a substance use disorder. He fell victim to the demands and pressure of our vet industry and we've all paid a very personal cost. Having always had open conversations on Radio Vet Nurse about wellness and the big issues in the industry, I feel compelled to take my story and start an honest conversation about some of the challenges we are facing in the industry. That's why this series is called Radio Vet Nurse Interrupted - apart from the obvious reference to an interruption in my personal life, I think the time is now to stop and make a break in the continuity of our current industry experience. It's time to have some really honest and difficult conversations, and make a conscious decision about how to proceed and really harness this opportunity for change. Now that I've shared my personal journey, in this episode I'd like to zoom out and take a birds eye view of the industry as a whole. Thanks for joining me on Radio Vet Nurse Interrupted. This series may be uncomfortable at times - but I really believe the disruption is here and I thank you for joining me on the journey. This episode was sponsored by the Animal Industries Resource Centre and the Animal Emergency Service.

For those of you that have listened to my podcast in the past - you may have realised that this episode already sounds a little bit different. In 2020 my life took a dramatic turn. I lived through a traumatic event. My whole family did. I went to ground and just survived. 18 months later, I'm ready to talk about what happened and where it sits in the big picture of our industry at the moment. Not only will I be exploring the vet industry crisis we are currently living in. But I'll also be speaking with some of the brightest brains in the industry to work out how we get through it. We'll look at the big changes that are needed, as well as things we can do as individuals. Thanks for joining me on Radio Vet Nurse Interrupted. This series may be uncomfortable at times - but I really believe the disruption is here and I thank you for joining me on the journey. This episode was sponsored by Vetoquinol Australia.

In this episode I caught up with fellow podcaster Yvonne Brandenburg RVT, VTS (SAIM) from Internal Medicine for Vet Techs. Yvonne is the creator of an online community of like-minded nurses and techs with an interest in the medicine side of vet med. Yvonne is a self-confessed type A person, always expanding her brain, always reaching towards the infinite possibilities. We spoke about the need to look after ourselves, remembering to be in the moment, and finding a renewed passion for our careers through continuing education and niching down. Yvonne has her VTS in small animal internal medicine, as does her partner in crime Jordan from Internal Medicine for Vet Techs. Together they're doing something really special to elevate our profession and to help others reignite a love of what they do. I'll put a link in the show notes to their online RACE approved learning community and their podcast. They're both amazing technicians and lovely people, so be sure to drop by and say hi to them on social media or through their website. Find Internal Medicine for Vet Techs on: - Facebook - Insta - Website Yvonne listens to these podcasts: • Radio Vet Nurse • Vet Tech Café • Anaesthesia Nerds • Cat Disgusted • Amy Porterfield We also discussed the viscoelastigram (VCM) which is a cool machine that measures the clot formation and breakdown. Read more at eClin Path and here is the machine Yvonne uses

In this episode I caught up with someone who always leaves me feeling sparkly and motivated - Vic. Where do we start? Vic is Australia's first VTS Nutrition and she exudes intelligence and self-awareness. She was almost literally born and raised in a vet clinic. Vic has a rare combination of clinical skills teamed with an intimate understanding of the veterinary business. If you're working in a leadership position or someone with an interest in nutrition, you're going to get a lot from this interview. In fact, anyone needing a little oomph to get them across the finish line of crazy old 2020 will get a lot from Vic. That's why I decided not to edit this interview down - even though we went a bit overtime - because it's not every day that I get to pick this wonderful brain. I'm excited to share Vic's strategies and insight about how to not just survive but thrive in our careers. She also reminded me of that simple goal we can sometimes overlook - be your best self. Vic listens to the following podcasts: - The Tony Robbins podcast - Mindset by design by Andy Murphy - Game of Grow - Mindset Mentor - Female Start-up Club - Pretty big deal by Ashley Graham - Veterinary innovation podcast We discussed how to access help and support: - Crampton Consulting COVID-19 Resource Hub - Nadine Hamilton - AVA 24hr hotline - VNCA wellness hub - Lifeline - Beyond Blue Reach out to Vic on Insta @victoriakoksvts or via email victoriakoks@outlook.com

You're listening to Radio Vet Nurse but not as you know it. In this bonus podcast mash up episode I had the pleasure of catching up with my veterinary podcast buddies. We decided to come together to say happy vet nurse day, happy vet tech week, and to check in with each other on vet life in the global pandemic. And - spoiler alert - vet life during covid19 has been crazy busy everywhere. If you listened to our last group episode you'll know my veterinary podcast friends Yvonne and Jordan from Internal Medicine For Vet Techs, Jeff and Dave from Vet Tech Cafe, Tasha from Veterinary Anesthesia Nerds, and Dr Lewis and Dr Robbie from Two Vets Talk Pets. Make sure you check out their shows too, I'll put links in the show notes and on social media. To my fellow Aussie listeners, happy vet nurse day! To all of you in the states, happy veterinary technician week. And to vet nurses, vet techs, veterinary assistants and students everywhere, I hope you're managing OK during these crazy times.

Ever since I started this podcast, people have been asking me to interview today's guest. I wanted to wait until we could meet and record in person, but since we're all grounded by covid19 for who knows how long, I decided that online would have to do for now. You might have heard of my guest, Jane Bindloss. Jane qualified as a veterinary nurse in the UK and eventually owned and managed a practice with her vet husband in Melbourne. She now runs SANE Veterinary Management with Sally Boyle, helping veterinary practices through leadership, coaching, and a push for the positive culture workplace. She's a founding member of the VNCA who has used her Jack Russell Terrier ways as a force for good in our industry. As you will learn from Jane, the unassuming Jack Russell Terrier should be a spirit animal for all of us. And as you call upon this dogged determination and cling to whatever it is you're fighting for in life, remember Jane's mantra "Never give up, never surrender!" We discussed: • SANE Veterinary Management http://sanevetmanagement.com.au/ o Contact Jane on 0418 176 170 or janeb@sanevetmanagement.com.au • Podcasts: o Blunt Dissection with Dr Dave Nicol o The Cone of Shame with Dr Andy Roark https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-cone-of-shame-veterinary-podcast/id1483387715 o The Uncharted Veterinary Podcast with Dr Andy Roark https://podcasts.apple.com/bh/podcast/the-uncharted-veterinary-podcast/id1449897688 o Conversations with Richard Fidler https://www.abc.net.au/radio/programs/conversations/ • The 4-eyes drug control system by Dr Andy Roark https://drandyroark.com/what-do-we-do-about-suicide/ • Time management tools such as: o Covey's grid http://www.planetofsuccess.com/blog/2015/stephen-coveys-time-management-matrix-explained/ o Esso's StepBack 5 x 5 https://www.safetyrisk.net/wp-content/uploads/downloads/2010/12/StepBack_5x5.pdf • AVNAT https://www.vnca.asn.au/avnat/

In this episode I caught up with Jeff Backus, veterinary technician and fellow podcaster. Jeff and his mate Dave host one of my favourite podcasts, the Vet Tech Café, so it was super fun to put him on the on the other side of the mic for a change. We talked about his career path from being a veterinary assistant in a GP practice to VTS in Emergency and Critical Care. He's been quite involved with academia throughout this career too having worked as adjunct professor, and currently working at Tufts University mainly in ICU. If you enjoy this episode, the dulcet tones of Jeff's voice, and his considered insight, then make sure you head over to The Vet Tech Café and have a listen. As always I will put a link in the show notes, or just search The Vet Tech Café in your podcast app. And, you're welcome. We discussed: • The Vet Tech Café • The Vetcorder • The Calm app • The Headspace app • Uprise EAP

In this episode I caught up with Michelle, who has been recommended for the show many times. Michelle coordinates the blood bank at the Animal Hospital at Murdock. This is just one of many interesting phases of Michelle's career including working as a zoo vet nurse and qualified zoo keeper, and volunteering on a bear rescue sanctuary in remote Vietnam. Michelle has some great advice on how to be a career veterinary nurse, including being strategic about career jumps, moves, side steps and even exit plans. And this of course is the secret to staying fresh and motivated in your career. I really enjoyed interviewing Michelle and feel like we only just scratched the surface of what she has to say. Michelle is happy for anyone to reach out to her with questions about blood banking in practice, so I'll put a link to the Animal Hospital at Murdock in the show notes. We also discussed: • Michelle did her fear free training with Fear Free • Serena Dean from a previous episode also has a fear free training platform called Stress Free Pets • Perth Zoo • Free the Bears • Contact Michelle via the Animal Hospital at Murdock

In this episode I had the pleasure of meeting Hannah, Physio RVN. One of Hannah's colleagues reached out to me and recommended her as a guest. I jumped straight onto Hannah's Instagram account @physio.rvn and found myself scrolling through her content with a huge smile on my face. It's this exquisite combination of didactic physio and rehabilitation posts with beautiful photos, and these funny self-deprecating photos of Hannah's vet nurse life. Hannah is the nursing team lead at Pennard Vets in the UK. She's an RVN and is also nearly finished her diploma in animal physiotherapy. She's down to earth, lovely, and has a quirky sense of humour that shines through in her online content. She also makes me want to do my diploma in animal physiotherapy. Maybe one day. If you're in a supervisory role as nursing team lead, team supervisor, practice manager, Hannah has some great things to say about working in these positions. She's had the benefit of training and seems to have found a sound approach that really works for her. I would be happy to be on a team with Hannah holding the reins. We discussed: • Hannah's diploma in animal physiotherapy • Hannah's Insta account • Alan Robinson • Katie Ford

In this episode I was joined by the 2019 VNCA Vet Nurse of the Year, Kate. She's a senior nurse at the Perth Zoo, nominated by her entire team for her work ethic and dedication to our profession. Kate has been a vet nurse for 20 years, working in zoos for 18. We recorded this episode at the beginning of March, just before COVID-19 turned the world on its head. Ever the conservationist, Kate wanted to talk about the pangolin and her vet nurse friend Cathy's work raising awareness for this amazing creature. Apart from my mental image of a scaled mammal at the time I knew nothing of the pangolin, the most trafficked animal in the world. A month later I had most certainly heard of the pangolin as a suspected intermediate host linking SARS-CoV-2 from horseshoe bats to humans. Since the pandemic I've thought a lot about live animal markets. It's important to note they can be legal, illegal, regulated, unregulated, and are an important source of affordable food and livelihood for many. But they are linked to the mutation of viral pathogens, which are more likely to make these jumps between species when animals are kept under duress. Pangolins are traded at live animal markets in some countries as a luxury meat and their scales used in traditional medicine. If - and let me stress, if - this is how SARS-CoV-2 was transmitted to one person at a seafood market in Wuhan China, then the whole world is paying an enormous price for this trade. We'll never know for sure if this is what happened, but is undoubtedly time to start listening to the voices of the conservationists. Like Kate. We discussed: • The Vet Tome tooth extraction system. • Dr Sophia Yin counter-conditioning nail trim phobia • VNCA Vet Nurse of the Year • Kate's qualifications: o Accredited Veterinary Nurse (AVN) o Certificate III in Captive Animals (zoo keeping qualification) o Captive Vertebrate Management (CSU) o Specialist certificate in zoo and wildlife nursing (currently completing) • Cathy's Pangolin work o Save Vietnam's wildlife o Cathy's website o Here's a link to an article Cathy has just written

I'm officially back from maternity leave, and this was my first time hitting record in 6 months. Anyone following me on social media will know that coming back to the mic with a 5 month old baby was harder than I thought. But this guest gave me just the boost I needed. Unless you have been living under a rock with no wifi you've probably heard of Veterinary Anursethesia. Court is the vet nurse behind this incredible resource and works at the Royal Veterinary College in London. I knew from her content that anaesthesia is her niche, so I imagined she'd be quite cut and dry, mathematical, and scientific. But she's actually an incredibly spiritual, soulful person with a love of the more simple aspects of nursing, like cleaning cat's faces. We chatted about everything from how a nurse in New Zealand came to break the internet with her social media resources, and how to not feel like just another cog in the wheel at work. Her mind was just as sharp as I expected but her soulful take on life was a pleasant surprise. We discussed: - Lumie lights - How to find Court on her website and socials • Website • Email contact • Follow on FB • Follow on Insta

I recorded this interview with Jazz in August 2019 just before starting maternity leave. At the time we discussed how a lot could happen in 7 months, but we couldn't have imagined the state the world would be in. Life as we know it has been turned on its head as we try to navigate the COVID-19 global pandemic. In this episode Jazz and I discuss the 26th VNCA conference to be held in Melbourne this month. Like veterinary conferences the world over, it's now been postponed. Follow the VNCA FB page for news of alternative plans and future dates. I talk a lot on the show about my previous life as a lawyer, but my first degree was in International Studies at RMIT's school of globalization. The whole premise of our degree, and my subsequent career in corporate social responsibility, was that we live in an age of globalization. So watching COVID-19 close national borders and halt global flows of trade and people has blown my mind. It leaves me with little doubt that it is now crucial to maintain the global flow of ideas, knowledge, and our support for one another. Stay connected during this time of isolation as we face unprecedented challenges in an industry that was already tackling challenges of its own. Take comfort in knowing that this experience will make us more resilient, flexible, and grateful. Carry on - we got this. In this episode I caught up with VNCA President, Jazz. A quick caveat for this one - like all episodes over the past 6 months it was recorded in advance for my maternity leave. We recorded in August 2019, and I'm sorry I wasn't able to get her reflections for the full year. We did however cover the first 6 months, including the hugely successful launch and roll out of the AVNAT Scheme. Aside from being President of the VNCA Jazz was recommended to me by multiple people as a perfect Radio Vet Nurse guest. She got her start in the industry at the ripe old age of 11 and her passion and enthusiasm will leave you straightening your stethoscope and fist punching the air. Another caveat for this episode, Jazz was unwell when we recorded and a bit concerned that she (a) might have a coughing fit and (b) sounded like a pack a day smoker. I quite liked the Janice Joplin voice but definitely edited out a few coughing fits, including one caused by our ongoing laughter at my favourite unexpected Radio Vet Nurse tangent ever - the subtle art of fainting. Jazz listens to these podcasts: · Dr Carl · Cosmic Vertigo · Stuff You Should Know

You're listening to Radio Vet Nurse, but not as you know it. This is a bonus COVID-19 episode in which I caught up with some fellow veterinary podcasters to talk about how we are navigating the global pandemic. As COVID-19 closes national and state borders and brings global flows of trade and people to a grinding halt, it is crucial now more than ever to stay connected. By maintaining the global flow of ideas, knowledge, and our support for one another we can band together to face these unprecedented challenges. So with that I'd like to introduce my veterinary podcast friends - Yvonne and Jordan from Internal Medicine For Vet Techs, Jeff and Dave from Vet Tech Cafe, Tasha from Veterinary Anesthesia Nerds, and Dr Lewis and Dr Robbie from Two Vets Talk Pets. We're hoping to check in with each other again in a month or so, since things are changing rapidly. Feel free to reach out to any of us with questions or issues you would like us to discuss in a future COVID-19 episode. But for now beautiful people stay safe, wash your hands and look after each other. Take comfort in knowing that this experience will make us more resilient, flexible, and grateful. Carry on - we got this.
