Collaborative Emergency Medicine for Veterinary Technicians
by Simone Conwell
Collaborative Emergency Medicine for Veterinary Technicians, Strengthen patient outcomes through effective cross-specialty veterinary team communication.
Veterinary medicine has grown increasingly fragmented, with communication gaps between general practice, emergency, and specialty teams compromising patient care. Collaborative Emergency Medicine for Veterinary Technicians addresses this challenge directly. Edited by Simone Conwell, a credentialed technician with eighteen years of experience spanning emergency, specialty, and general practices, this practical guide shows technicians how collaborative communication across departments and with veterinarians improves outcomes for critically ill patients.
The book details what ER staff need during patient transfers from general practice, what specialty surgery technicians expect when receiving surgical cases, and how to share clinical insights effectively with veterinarians. Coverage includes the role of veterinary social workers in emergency settings, professional communication techniques from a certified veterinary practice manager, and the struggles of bilingual staff caught between owners and veterinarians.
