Beyond Traditional Vet Nursing: Exploring Equine Therapy Research with Kristina Naden, RVN BVN

Épisode 210

mardi 5 novembre 2024 • Durée 19:20

Send us a text

In this interesting episode of Veterinary Voices, Julie South catches up again with Khristina Naden, Senior Lecturer in Veterinary Nursing at Otago Polytech, where she demonstrates how a veterinary nursing qualification can evolve into ground-breaking research.

As Kristina shares insights from her Masters research (hopefully to be upgraded to PhD research) into therapeutic horse riding, you're are treated to a super interesting blend of scientific methodology and practical experience that bridges the gap between animal care and human therapy.

In episodes 205 and 206 Kristina's shared her non-traditional entry into veterinary nursing. Today she expands on that to share how it's possible to expand and morph traditional veterinary nursing.

Kristina talks about conducting international research which showcases the expanding horizons available within the veterinary nursing profession.

Her recent presentation at a conference in Budapest highlights how veterinary expertise can contribute to broader therapeutic applications, from improving physical mobility to enhancing speech and language development in patients.

She also chats about how she was invited to present her veterinary research at a medical (human) conference; where a brief case of Imposter Syndrome kicked in.

Key Takeaways:

Veterinary nursing qualifications can lead to diverse career paths, including academic research and specialised therapy programs
The horse-human connection is deeply nuanced, with horses serving as sensitive indicators of human mental states - a finding that has implications for both therapeutic and recreational riding

This episode is particularly valuable for veterinary professionals considering career advancement, those interested in animal-assisted therapy, and anyone fascinated by the scientific understanding of horse-human interactions.

Veterinary Professionalism and Collegiality - Dr Paul Unsworth - pt 3 - ep 112

Saison 1 · Épisode 112

mardi 20 décembre 2022 • Durée 22:27

Send us a text

How professional or collegial is the veterinary profession in New Zealand ?

We pick up today where Dr Paul Unsworth gets on his self-professed soapbox about the requirement for veterinarians to work after hours. He parallels the after hours requirements and expectations of veterinary medicine versus human medicine.

I’m interested to hear your thoughts and ideas on this – please feel free to comment wherever you’re listening to this episode.

I’m sure I’m not the only one who wants to see the frequency of after hours roster requirements for vets changed.

And I think – this is life according to Julie – that a significant change can be made provided competitor clinics learn to play nicely and respectfully with each other after hours.

I think some clinics are virtue signalling with their intention to improve things when it comes to their teams working after hours. Why - because they don't play nice. They're not professional or collegial and I even challenge their levels of integrity.

When what happens, happens, the status quo prevails and vets continue to get burnt out.

Just to clarify – to remove any cause for doubt or confusion – according to the Cambridge Dictionary – the adjective collegial means: relating to a friendly relationship between colleagues (= people who work together)

It is also used to describe a method of working in which responsibility is shared between several people.

Again – I’m interested to hear YOUR thoughts, ideas, suggestions – so please – comment and/or email me – cos I really am interested.

Dr Paul also comes up with another possible idea to help relieve the veterinary shortage … but I’m not sure we’ve got the population to support it in Godzone Aotearoa New Zealand.

· His favourite gadget? [Hint: it’s a type of endoscope – have you used this specific type of endoscope?]

· Should vets specialise (lower case “s”) such that pet owners would then take their pets to different clinics according to the specialisation / interest of a clinic? And………..

Crystal Ball Gazing

Today we do a bit of crystal ball gazing with Dr Paul Unsworth – Companion Animal Locum Veterinarian. This is the first of a multi-part series.

We’re talking about some of the changes Dr Paul has seen since he started his career.

Gender Equality and Diversity

We also talk about gender equality and professional representation which always a topic that results in passionate debate. Using my words, not his, the veterinary profession has evolved into having not much diversity.

We’re trying to change the way things ARE, to work within a way that WAS. And that WAS no longer works.

If you haven’t listened to last week’s episode with Dr Jade Hackney, have a listen – because she makes some really valid points about the change that needs to happen to bring out professional longevitiy.

Menagerie of pets growing up

If you’re involved in the veterinary profession, it’s probably fair to say that most of us grew up with at least one pet.

You probably had a cat or a dog. Maybe a bunny or another type of pocket furry … or maybe a bird… perhaps even a pony. But I’ll be surprised if you’ve had a menagerie of pets like Dr Paul Unsworth.

Companion Animal Locum Veterinarian Dr Paul Unsworth, who’s married to Dr Rose Unsworth, who’s been a guest on this show a few times, shares what life was like as a veterinarian back in the day where James Herriot was making headlines and inspiring lots of British young men and women to become veterinarians.

James Herriot

If you’re too young to know who is, that’s the pen name of James Alfred Wight who worked as a veterinarian in the Yorkshire Dales in England.

Dr Jade Hackney - it's time for a new business model - thriving clinics with part timers - pt 3 - ep 109

Saison 1 · Épisode 109

mardi 29 novembre 2022 • Durée 26:48

Send us a text

The old model of running a veterinary business no longer works - it's time for a fresh look and different approach.

This is the final episode (of 3) is Dr Jade Hackney’s series about life after veterinary burnout and recovery.

At the Christchurch wellness symposium I - Julie South - spent the first day sitting next to a part-time vet - she:

worked 3x 10-hour days...
was a fully engaged, high producing, veterinarian totally committed to her clinic...
had a life outside of her clinic which lit her up.

If you’re a veterinary professional who wants to work part-time but doesn’t know how to re-enter professional clinical life, please get in touch with me at vetstaff.co.nz because I’d love to help you.

Your skills and expertise are valuable – don’t let anyone tell you otherwise “just” because you’re a part timer.

Today, Jade and I both invite clinic owners to consider the benefits of employing part timers – that’s where we join the conversation.

Jade calls out clinics who're still working the "old" business model that clearly, no longer works today. It's time for a shakeup and reboot!

I hope you find Jade’s story enlightening and encouraging.

If you’re a clinic owner and would like to see whether you can change things around a bit at your clinic then please get in touch with me through vetstaff.

Let’s find out what questions need to be asked at your clinic to have a happier team at your place.

If you’re a veterinary professional wanting to return to clinical practice but have some of those fears, uncertainties and doubts Jade mentioned, please get in touch with me – I’d love to help you return to the workforce in a way that respects, honours and values you as a person and professional.

From Burnout to Living Life to the Full - Companion Animal Veterinarian - Dr Jade Hackney - pt 2 - ep108

Saison 1 · Épisode 108

mardi 22 novembre 2022 • Durée 33:39

Send us a text

This is the second in the multi part series where Companion Animal Veterinarian Dr Jade Hackney shares her path to living life to the full as a healthy and loving, long-term life partner and fully engaged veterinarian.

Dr Jade talks about:

the moment she and her life partner realised they no longer wanted to work fulltime in jobs they didn't enjoy to pay someone else's mortgage;
their journey to owning their own home in their 30s - mortgage-free;
what 'living life to the full' means to Jade;
living the dream with 'pinch yourself moments' each day;
the freedom available to you when you start something with a Beginner's Mind and how knowing how something should be done can be an impediment;
living the WWOOF lifestyle for a while;
how vet clinics can employ part timers and be better off for it;
how it's easier to blame others, but that's not what being emotionally intelligent is;
how it's important - critical! - to focus only on what you can control - your own thoughts and feelings - and not worry about what you can't - other people's thoughts or feelings.

Listen to the first part of the conversation - episode 107.

If you're a vet or vet nurse considering your next vet job (locum or permanent) in New Zealand the team at VetStaff is here to help.

Veterinary Burnout and Recovery with Dr Jade Hackney - ep 107

You can take the person out of vetting but can you take vetting out of the person?

This series of episodes with Dr Jade Hackney was recorded a few months’ ago but I thought the topic was very relevant – especially for veterinary professionals who may be reconsidering their careers in the veterinary space… especially the clinical veterinary space.

For example, when you reconsider your career as a veterinarian – not once, but twice – what might that look like and what’s life like on the other side?

This episode is personal and emotional. If you’re standing on a bit of shaky ground right now, hopefully you’ll find Jade’s journey both insightful and hopeful.

If you’re standing on VERY shaky ground please call or text 1737 and chat with someone who won’t judge you. That’s 1737.

Today’s episode doesn’t talk about suicide but it is about burnout. And hope and recovery.

I’m with locum Companion Animal Veterinarian - Dr Jade Hackney – a graduate from the University of Dublin - shares her personal burnout, meltdown and recovery journey about what life is like on the other side as a practicing veterinarian.

Jade was born in Northern Ireland but when she was 11 months old her parents moved to Malawi, where she lived until she was 11.

She encountered a huge culture shock when her parents returned to Northern Ireland. This lead to the beginning of unpleasant times for Jade.

In 2014 she experienced burnout through working 1-in-4 weekends + 1 night a week on call, with no time off in lieu, and minimal collegial support. As she shares, she thought at this point she’d never practice as a clinical veterinarian again.

In 2015 Jade started her journey of self-care, recovery and work-life balance.

One thing that really struck me with Jade’s language is her ownership of her own EQ – her own emotional intelligence.

This is the second of the two part series with Dr Jane Ough – Companion Animal Veterinarian at South Wairarapa Vets – who’s wearing her very new New Zealand Veterinary Association Climate Change Ambassador’s hat.

If you haven’t listened to the first part – 105 – I recommend you do that, to give you context for today’s continuation of our chat.

We join the conversation where Jane expresses how worried she is that not enough people are taking steps to offset their own carbon footprint ramifications and global warming.

She also talks about more initiatives South Wairarapa Vets have implemented and the responses she’s getting from both staff and clients.
