Masterclass with Laura Jones & Libby Sheridan
Join us on 16th October 2024 at 8pm for an engaging masterclass hosted by Purina, designed for the entire clinical team. This session will focus on the optimal management of feline chronic kidney disease (CKD), a condition that, with appropriate and careful management, can significantly improve both the length and quality of a cat’s life.
The masterclass will be led by Laura Jones, a Senior Medicine Nurse and Veterinary Technician Specialist in Small Animal Internal Medicine, alongside Dr Libby Sheridan, PURINA® Scientific Affairs Manager for the UK & Ireland. Together, they will explore the broader implications of a CKD diagnosis and demonstrate how to deliver the best ongoing care through an individualised approach to nursing and nutritional support.
This case-based seminar will cover:
- What to do after a diagnosis: Developing an individualised care plan
- Strategies for long-term success: Slowing disease progression
- Collaborating with pet owners to enhance supportive care at home
- Running a nurse-led renal clinic: The how, what, and when
- Ongoing nutritional assessments: Tailoring care for early and late-stage CKD
Don’t miss this opportunity to enhance your approach to managing feline CKD and ensure your patients receive the highest standard of care.
