Pop-off occlusion value - This little beauty allows me to deliver a breath via IPPV WITHOUT having to close the pop-off valve.

YES! You read that right! ๐Ÿ™Œ

A simple push of a button and you can deliver a breath.

Increasing patient safety one little bit of equipment at a time! ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’™

๐Ÿšจ NEW IN-HOSPITAL PRESENTATION COMING THIS OCTOBER! ๐Ÿšจ

I'm so excited to be launching a brand-new 1-hour interactive presentation for veterinary teams!

Pain assessment is such an important part of patient care. No one comes to work wanting to see their patients in pain, but because our patients can't tell us how they're feeling, it's up to us to recognise the signs and assess them accurately.

This session focuses on the first two essential steps:
โœ… Step 1: Recognising what pain looks like in patients who can't tell us.
โœ… Step 2: Quantifying pain using validated pain scoring tools.

Through interactive discussion, case examples, and team participation, you'll gain practical skills that can be implemented immediately in your clinic.

Whether you're a Veterinary Nurse, Veterinary Technician or Veterinarian, this session is designed to get the whole team involved ๐Ÿคฉ.

๐Ÿ“… Bookings now open for October

Earlier this week I had a blast delivering a custom 3-hour workshop for the amazing team at Galstone Vet! ๐Ÿฉบ๐Ÿพ

We covered a CPR refresher, introduced the fantastic RECOVER app to help keep compression and ventilation rates on track during CPR, and wrapped up with some hands-on anaesthetic machine maintenance and troubleshooting.

One of my favourite parts of these workshops is seeing everyone get involved ๐Ÿคฉ. The vets shared valuable tips from their own experiences, and the veterinary nurses asked some fantastic questions that sparked great discussions. It's always rewarding to learn from each other and build confidence as a team.

๐ŸŒŸThanks to the Galstone Vet team for having me ๐ŸŒŸ

CPR: Basic and Advanced Life Support Courses - RECOVER Initiative 21/06/2026

In our industry, the learning never stops!

While working towards my VTS, I let my RECOVER certification lapse... but that's now sorted! ๐Ÿ˜…
โœ… Basic Life Support (BLS)
โœ… Advanced Life Support (ALS)
Next stop: Certified Instructor! ๐Ÿš€

If you're looking for CE, I can't recommend RECOVER highly enough. Well worth the time and effort.

CPR: Basic and Advanced Life Support Courses - RECOVER Initiative RECOVER presents a need for standardization of veterinary basic and advanced life support courses. Read the arguments presented today.

What a fantastic week it has been. I had the pleasure of meeting more than 50 wonderful veterinary professionals across Tasmania.

At some hospitals we got stuck into capnography while at other we discussed breathing systems and monitoring equipment. Then there was my 90min direct to VN and VTech classes, we also went through capnography and then deep dived into premedications.

To everyone who attended a workshop or tutorial, thank you for your enthusiasm, engagement, and willingness to share your experiences. I hope you left with some useful tips and practical knowledge.

PS: I remain absolutely hopeless at remembering to take photos during classes, so you'll just have to trust me when I say there were people there! ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ“ธ
