Last month we did a little happy dance here in the office as we saw the launch of an online journal club focusing specifically on topics relevant to palliative care and geriatric medicine. Designed to be a platform in which vets with an interest in this field of care can explore the current literature, discuss cases and learn from each other, journal club is free and open access to everyone. Sessions will run quarterly with our next meeting in October. You can sign up to be notified of all the upcoming details online at www.vetpalcarejc.com.

A massive thanks to the incredible Dr Cheryl Braswell who agreed to lead these sessions for us. Cheryl is a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care and the Chief of Emergency and Critical Care at a large referral practice in Tennessee, USA. She has a sincere passion for the care of patients with life-limiting diagnoses and believes there is a place for palliative medicine for patients seen in the emergent setting. She is a regular presenter at the IAAHPC annual conferences on all things pain management and end stage care. Cheryl, we are so grateful for your energy, knowledge and dedication to teaching. Thank you and let’s get learning!

Testimonials

Such an amazing, wonderful and supportive team. Saying goodbye to my little girl was hard, but the Sunset team took so much of the burden. They helped arrange cremation at a time when I could barely get 2 words out between sobs and were patient and helpful when I changed my mind about what time I wanted them to come. I will sing their praises until I'm hoarse and will tell everyone I meet.

Absolutely outstanding care, compassion and support given by Dr Jackie and her team! Cannot recommend highly enough. Thank you for making a very difficult time much more bearable with such care :)

Thank you so much for looking after our family so well over the past years. Thank you for helping us through this most difficult decision and process. Your sensitivity and professionalism helped so much. The pain and the emptiness is almost unbearable but we have so very many happy, happy memories to treasure. Guess we'll just have to bring in the mail and the papers ourselves now! With thanks again.

Thankyou doesn't seem enough to convey our heartfelt gratitude for the outstanding care you have given Eddie. Your compassion and support helped us navigate what was for us a truly traumatic day and for that we will be forever grateful. So thankyou to the whole team for everything you have done as well as all the knowledge you have shared which enabled us to give Eddie such a happy and healthy life.

Thank you to the extraordinary team at Sunset Vets who provided a high level of care and compassion when we recently had to say goodbye to our 14-year-old girl, Jewel. Allowing her to go at home in familiar surroundings made the process less stressful for her, our younger dog and ourselves. Special thanks to Ashlee for her compassionate manner on the phone (who arranged this for us at short notice)... and Dr Jan who was gentle and caring when it mattered most. We're grateful you've provided this service on the Sunshine Coast.
