A learning series comprising of six videos for nurses with Professor Stuart Carmichael on osteoarthritis and the role vet nurses can play in its management.

Osteoarthritis is a very common debilitating problem in our pet population and is often not managed as well as it could be. Dogs deserve a better deal, with more attention paid to reducing chronic pain and enabling improved mobility and a better quality of life. We know that long-term assessment and management are the best ways of achieving this but this does not fit into the normal schedule of the standard practice.

As we learn more about OA we realise that there are exciting possibilities for change using global or multimodal management techniques. This series explores how nurses can make a difference by learning new skills and using them in special OA clinics to provide better, lasting care for affected pets.
