## Resource

Seizures are probably the most common neurological issue we see in practice, and they can be one of the most daunting conditions to nurse (and be incredibly stressful to witness). Thankfully, though, there's lots we can do to support these patients as veterinary nurses and technicians. To do this, we need to understand a bit more about what seizures are, why they happen, the impact they have on our patients, and how they're managed - as well as the nursing care these patients need, and the skills we can use in the process. That's exactly what we're covering in episode 104 of the Medical Nursing Podcast. Join me, Laura Jones (RVN, VTS Internal Medicine) and resident neuro expert Zoe Hatfield (RVN, VTS Neurology) as we discuss exactly what you need to know to care for these patients confidently as a veterinary nurse. Settle in, make yourself comfy, and get ready to do more with your seizure patients. --- About Zoe: Zoe qualified as a registered veterinary nurse in 2012. After spending her first year as a RVN working in first opinion practice, she moved to referral joining the University of Glasgow Small Animal Hospital nursing team in 2013. Since joining the nursing team, Zoe has developed her passion for neurology and in 2019 gained the VTS certificate in Neurology. Working within the vet school she enjoys using her extensive experience in neurology to teach and educate students and newer members of staff. She also presents CPD on a wide variety of neurological topics, including at BSAVA Alba, ExcelCPD, VetTrust, AIMVT and BVA Live.
