Overcoming Obstacles in Obesity

Kindly sponsored by:

Speaker: Rachel Woodward RVN NCert(SAN) CertNCS(RVNCons) DipNCS(RVNCons)

Rachel qualified in 2016 and began working in a large hospital and referral practice as a rotational nurse but largely spread over medicine disciplines and first opinion. It was during this rotational role, that Rachel realised her love for all things nutrition and nurse clinics! Since, then she has gone on to complete a Nurse Certificate in Small Animal Nutrition and a Certificate & Diploma in Nurse Consulting. Rachel now works as the hospital’s Senior Clinic Nurse and is also an assessor for Colourful CPD’s Nurses Certificate and Diploma in Nurse Consulting.

Lecture Synopsis:

This webinar is all about getting to the bottom of those barriers that nurses face surrounding weight consults.

As overweight pets are abundant, our weight consult numbers are growing (no pun intended!). However, during this webinar, we won’t be looking at ‘standard’ weight consults but will take a different approach, looking deeper into the sorts of problems that RVNs might be faced with and the ways and ideas by which we can combat these. RVNs play such a vital role with these appointments and it’s important that we feel comfortable and confident in performing them, so please tune in as we discuss some common conundrums!

Learning Points:

1. Recognise common barriers that nurses face during weight consults
2. Discuss different ways that RVNs can overcome these
3. Learn how to implement these strategies into everyday consults
