RCVS Knowledge releases new QI Boxset
"Creating and using guidelines can be really useful for the entire practice to work together to identify processes that will help them deliver evidence-based care as a team" - Pam Mosedale.

New course focuses on implementing guidelines. 

A new Quality Improvement (QI) Boxset has been launched by RCVS Knowledge to provide support on developing and implementing guidelines in veterinary practice.

Available on RCVS Knowledge's e-learning platform, the course is taught using a multimedia approach with webinars, podcasts and articles.

Sally Everitt, inFOCUS clinical support lead at RCVS Knowledge, explained: “Guidelines are a good way to put evidence into practice. A great way to learn how to find, appraise and use evidence, and then translate it into everyday practice. 

“You may be reading and keeping up to date with the evidence, but you but may not be sure how to implement it in a consistent way, or just need some support to navigate the evidence and have some structure. Then this series of QI Boxset is for you.”

Set out in bite-sized sections, the new boxset has been structured with busy veterinary teams in mind, so learning does not have to interfere with the pace of practice life.

Alongside the new guidelines boxset, previous series of QI Boxsets are available to access on the RCVS Knowledge Learn Platform, covering topics such as clinical audit and benchmarking.

Clinical lead for QI at RCVS Knowledge, Pam Mosedale, said: “Creating and using guidelines can be really useful for the entire practice to work together to identify processes that will help them deliver evidence-based care as a team and as individuals, within the practice’s particular circumstances.”

The new boxset series is free to access, and is available to be streamed now on the Learn platform.

BSAVA publishes Guide to Nutrition in Small Animal Practice

The BSAVA has added a small animal nutrition advice booklet to its series of BSAVA guides.

The BSAVA Guide to Nutrition in Small Animal Practice offers a resource for veterinary professionals to provide appropriate nutrition for animals. As well as maintaining the wellbeing of healthy pets, the guide explores how nutritional requirements change in times of illness and disease.

The guide is divided into five sections, which explore the importance of nutritional assessment; diet types; feeding at different life stages; feeding for specific situations; and feeding for specific diseases. Online resources are also in the BSAVA Library including client handouts and videos.

It is designed to be suitable for referencing, in-depth case planning and team training sessions.

The BSAVA Guide to Nutrition in Small Animal Practice can be purchased online from the BSAVA store.
