Review :
“This book will enable VNs to become more involved in clinics and will ensure their skills are utilised.  Certainly a book for every VN to have in the library.”  (BSAVA, 1 March 2014) “To summarise, The Consulting Veterinary Nurse will be a useful book for many nurses, especially those who have a keen interest in clinical nutrition, and those looking to promote nutrition within the practice . . . It may also offer some suggestions for medical clinics that may not have otherwise been considered.”  (The Veterinary Record, 1 October 2013) “From handling senior pet clinics to client compliance and education, this covers clinics organized for a range of animal conditions and is written by an experienced senior vet nurse. Any veterinary collection will find this filled with specifics.”  (Bookwatch, 1 January 2013)  “The Consulting Veterinary Nurse’ is a highly informative, well-written book and deserves its place in the practice library or, better still, the nurses’ consultation room.”  (Veterinary Record, 2 February 2013)
