Physiology of the Gastrointestinal System (for Nurses)

Physiology of the Gastrointestinal System (for Nurses)
Physiology of the Gastrointestinal System (for Nurses)

This webinar covers the anatomy and physiology of the gastrointestinal system and how application of this knowledge relates to disease, nutrition and nursing care. We discuss how treatments, including nutrition, relate to the physiology and the importance of this underpinning knowledge. We discuss how different nutrients in the diet effect the functioning of the gastrointestinal system.

Nicola Ackerman relates the content of the webinar to a more Emergency Critical Care setting, for those animals that are presented with gastrointestinal issues, including pancreatitis, vomiting and diarrhoea, gastric dilations.

“Why Do We Vaccinate? When Should we Vaccinate?” (for Nurses)

In this webinar we will discuss some of the underlying principles of why we vaccinate that underpin our preventative healthcare strategy for most of our patients. How do we select the most appropriate vaccine protocol for a particular patient? How frequently should we booster vaccine? Should we titre test? How do we fit modified vaccination protocols into a preventative medicine strategy if client perceptions of preventative medicine programs are limited to, “I’m just here for the needles.” There is no one-size-fits-most answer to any of these questions, but by the end of the webinar, we hope you feel equipped to answer client and colleague questions about why we do what we do.
