Wound Rounds: Bites, Burns and Beyond
Live Studio Session ┃ 25th August 2026, 8pm BST
Talk Summary
Amelia and Julian will explore three challenging wound cases through a relaxed, conversation-style discussion led by a veterinary surgeon and veterinary nurse duo. Using a dog bite injury, thermal burn and omentalisation case, the session will examine how collaborative decision-making influences wound healing outcomes and patient care.
The discussion will highlight the complementary roles of the veterinary surgeon and veterinary nurse in managing complex wounds. Amelia will focus on tissue viability principles, practical wound assessment and creating an optimal healing environment, including moisture balance, dressing selection and ongoing wound monitoring. Julian will explore the surgical considerations for each case, including reconstruction options, timing of closure and factors influencing surgical decision-making.
Together, the session will provide a holistic overview of wound management, encouraging delegates to consider both the biological and surgical aspects of healing alongside the professional responsibilities of the wider veterinary team. Through open discussion and real clinical examples, practical insights applicable to everyday practice will be shared.
