New clinical support app for small animal practitioners
The app will provide quick access to the latest evidence-based information.
A new point-of-care clinical support app for small animal practitioners has been launched by Vet2Vet in collaboration with the BSAVA.
The VETbytes app gives veterinary surgeons, nurses, and animal healthcare teams access to the latest evidence-based information, including an extensive library of medical summaries drawn from global guidelines and peer-reviewed journals.
Covering more than 100 topics, the summaries are readable and guide professionals through the whole patient journey. Further benefits include drug (and CRI) calculators, a quick reference section and links to hundreds of source abstracts.
App founders Dr Zoe Coker and Dr Bronwen Eastwood said that the resource addresses the need for a mobile-friendly resource of practical and evidence-based clinical guides that vets can access quickly and easily.
“There is rarely time during the working day to read all the necessary journals, articles and up-to-date texts”, said Dr Coker. “VETbytes collates all the evidence on a specific medical condition and consolidates it into a short synopsis called a Keep it Simple Summary (KISS).”
BSAVA President Professor Ian Ramsey said that the app will provide significant benefits and support for BSAVA members.
“Every busy small animal clinician should try out VETbytes as it is a real paradigm shift in mobile resources for vets,” he said.
International Cat Care (ICatCare) has announced a free, virtual event dedicated to caring for unowned cats to explore new ideas and ways of working.
