Speaker: Jo Stephenson RVN
Jo qualified in 2005 and has worked in both the UK and in Australia in small animal and mixed practice.
She has a passion in cytology which she has worked hard to develop through her 20-year career. Jo is currently leading the nursing team in a 1st opinion and referrals practice in Suffolk and is based mostly in the orthopaedics and advanced surgery department, she carries out most of the in-house cytology from, urine, to joint taps and FNAs of almost anything! She is a self-confessed cytology nerd and can get very protective of her microscope.
Lecture Synopsis:
Cytology can sometimes be a daunting task for nurses, especially when asked to examine slides to a aid a vet in their diagnosis work ups or in critical patients.
This session will help nurses learn how to correctly use and care for the microscope, have more confidence looking down the microscope at urine, ears and blood smears and be empowered to go outside of their comfort zone to create and examine slides to aid in house results.
Learning Points:
- Learn how to prepare samples for in house examination.
- Identifying common cells.
- How you can assist the vets during their diagnosis work ups.
