Alyssa and I sat down for a really important conversation - about the global challenges veterinary nurses and technicians face, about utilising our skills (and what happens when clinics don't), and about how things like burnout, attrition and retention issues are having a significant impact on all of us. More importantly than that, we discussed not just how things are different in the UK and US, but how our roles are much more similar than it might first seem - and how we can work together to improve utilisation, job satisfaction, autonomy, confidence and retention. Wherever you are in the world, and whatever your job title - technician, nurse, paraveterinarian or anything in between, I know you'll get so much value from this episode 💜 Resources mentioned this episode: 📲 About Alyssa: https://www.empoweringveterinaryteams.com/who-we-are/ 📲 AAHA technician utilisation guidelines: https://www.aaha.org/resources/2023-aaha-technician-utilization-guidelines/ 📲 The economic cost of burnout in veterinary medicine: https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/veterinary-science/articles/10.3389/fvets.2022.814104/full --- 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: htt…","meta_description":"In this episode of the Medical Nursing Podcast, I'm joined by Alyssa Mages, Credentialled Veterinary Technician, panel member on the AAHA Veterinary Techn…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":2767,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/medical-nursing-podcast-cpd-for-veterinary-nurses-6726871/episodes/111-not-utilising-veterinary-nursing-skills-is-costing-your-clinic-thousands-here-s-what-to-do-about-it-ft-alyssa-mages-cvt-fvte/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/medical-nursing-podcast-cpd-for-veterinary-nurses-6726871/111-not-utilising-veterinary-nursing-skills-is-costing-your-clinic-thousands-here-s-what-to-do-about-it-ft-alyssa-mages-cvt-fvte.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
