Reviews

Nursing Care Plans are now becoming an essential part of nursing animals in our care. They are embedded into the syllabus of Veterinary Nursing students and this knowledge should be developed through a RVN’s career. Helen manages to take the important points for care plans and put them into a useable format that any veterinary nurse or student can learn from and develop their knowledge. I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone who wants to enhance their nursing skills and documentation with patients. Sam Morgan Cert Ed DipAVN(Medical & Surgical) RVN, BVNA President 2015/17 Helen Ballantyne has done an excellent job: the book is appropriately referenced, takes wonderful comparisons from human nursing, addresses common concerns and questions about nursing care plans, and above all makes the concept of these plans very relatable to the daily practice of veterinary nurses and technicians. Liza W Rudolph, BAS, RVT, VTS (CP-CF, SAIM), Manager of the Academy of Veterinary Technicians in Clinical Practice (AVTCP) and Maryland Veterinary Technician Association, USA Veterinary Nursing Care Plans: Theory and Practice does a thorough job in defining nursing care plans. Although veterinary nursing plans are not commonly used in current practice in America, the author makes a convincing argument for their implementation. She highlights the importance of providing holistic care, improving client communication, promoting collaboration among the veterinary team, and instituting clinical governance and asserts that the use of veterinary nursing plans can facilitate those aims and increase the bottom line of a practice. Lisa L. Eller, DVM, Arthur Veterinary Clinic, USA in JAVMA, Vol 253, No. 6, September 2018 This book is well structured. It begins by introducing care plans – what they are, and why and how they should be used. The author includes examples of different types of plan, such the Roper, Logan and Tierney model and also Orem. This makes it ideal for students like myself who are learning about care plans and how to implement them effectively in practice. It would also be a great read for those wanting to optimise their use of such plans in practice. I believe this is a fantastic book; it has greatly expanded my knowledge of care planning and its successful implementation and I would recommend it to anyone seeking to learn more about care planning.

Author Information

Helen Ballantyne, after graduating with a degree in Pharmacology in 2002, qualified as a veterinary nurse in 2005. Combining her passions for veterinary nursing and travel, she began a 8-year stint as a locum nurse working nationally and internationally, developing experience in referral medicine and surgery, charity practice, emergency nursing and exotics. During this time, she spent five years on the British Veterinary Nursing Association (BVNA) council in a variety of roles, culminating in her being awarded honorary membership in 2016. In 2013, she qualified as a human-centred nurse taking up a position at the United Kingdom’s largest specialist cardiothoracic hospital, Papworth NHS Foundation Trust. After two years working in intensive care, she moved to the transplant team. Within this role, she supports the ongoing care of patients, pre and post-transplant. She is also a member of the National Organ Retrieval team, on call to facilitate the collection of organs from deceased donors. Helen remains a Registered Veterinary Nurse and has developed a strong interest in the principles of One Health, supporting collaborative practice between the medical and veterinary professions. She regularly lectures and writes about ideas and ways of working that may be shared between the professions to support clinical and professional practice. As she goes to work, her friends and family take great delight in asking her, ‘Is it humans or animals today?’
