Summary
The microbiome is probably THE most talked about area of GI disease this year. And with good reason - because it's fascinating, and we're only learning more and more about it as time goes on. The microbiome is linked to so much more than 'just' dysbiosis - from gastrointestinal disease to cancer, emotional health and much more, this unseen but mighty 'virtual organ' is hugely important in our patients. And as our understanding of it grows, so too does our role in supporting GI patients as veterinary nurses and technicians. In episode 117 of the Medical Nursing Podcast, we're discussing exactly what the microbiome is, what we know about it so far, what affects it, and what happens when we see dysbiosis - a disruption in the normal microbial balance. And, of course, we'll look at how we can use more of our skills to support patients with dysbiosis - from support during diagnostics, to faecal microbiota transplantation and much more. --- Looking for medical nursing CPD? 📲 Get unlimited CPD inside the Library Club: http://vimn.thrivecart.com/libraryclub/ 📲 Snag a webinar from the on-demand library: https://www.veterinaryinternalmedicinenursing.com/veterinary-education-webinar-library --- More free ways to learn with me: 📲 Grab the show notes and references from today's episode: http://www.veterinaryinternalmedicinenursing.com/podcast 📲 Follow me on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/vetinternalmedicinenursing 🖥️ Learn more about medical nursing: http://www.veterinaryinternalmedicinenursing.com --- This podcast does not replace a veterinary surgeon's advice, and its content is provided only for information.
