Approaching the Itchy Dog - A Guide for Nurses 

Nurses can play a key role in assisting vets in working up these cases, and in helping clients to understand the reasoning behind the steps that we need to take. The key to this is understanding the basis processes and steps that need to be taken in order to reach a diagnosis and to come up with a tailored plan for that patient and client. 

In this webinar we'll break down these processes so that you can understand what we should be doing, and why, and where your skills can be utilized most effectively. 

The Australian Veterinary Nurse and Technician (AVNAT) Regulatory Council has allocated (1) AVNAT CPD point to this continuing education activity.

Recognising lesions in dermatology - the key to accurate diagnosis

Some people say that everything in dermatology looks the same; just hair loss and red or black skin. This is far from the case. If you can separate primary lesions from secondary changes you are well on your way to formulate a good diagnostic and treatment plan for your patients.

In addition, when requesting advice from a veterinary dermatologist, the key is to be able to describe in mutually understandable terms what is happening. In this presentation, Dr's Rob Hilton and Judith Nimmo will co-present the common primary and secondary lesions seen in our small animal patients and discuss their clinical and histological appearance and some of the more common diseases associated with the lesions
