Summary

Joining Brian and myself in our studio (three times a charm) we are delighted to speak to Nicola Ho, Lecturer in Anaesthesia and Analgesia here at the RVC. Nicola, with her anaesthesia colleagues, sent out a questionnaire to those anaesthesia vets, nurses and technicians to find out how sleep and fatigue affected them. It is an interesting and pertinent topic when most of us have roles in which we need to work shift work and/or be on call and how that might affect us, and the patients we look after. It might not have answers though a space to start or continue the conversation to think about what you can do to make it better where you are for you and your team. We hope that you enjoy.

0:24.0	Joining Brian and myself in the studio, we're going to talk to Nicola.
0:28.9	Welcome, Nicola.
0:29.7	Nicola is one of our veterinary anathist and in one of our lectures, sorry,
0:35.6	in the veterinary anesthesia and analgesia team.
0:38.1	So welcome to the podcast.
0:39.6	Thank you for asking me to hear.
0:40.9	So really what we want to talk to me about is, so you were involved,
0:45.8	or one of the lead author of a paper looking at sleep, fatigue, and mental health and the veterinary
0:50.4	anesthesia.
0:51.3	And you are asked a questionnaire to a lot of adneithitis in different
0:56.0	roles in the anaesthesia team and and i suppose it's very interesting so i thought i'd ask you
1:04.4	to come on the pod and sort of talk about it so can i can i ask like why why did why did you want to
1:10.3	have a look at this in the first place?
1:12.2	Well, as most decisions that are good come after a very long night shift, I think I wanted to look at sleep
1:19.1	and I wanted to know whether my experiences were universal.
1:23.0	So I started out trying to look at sleep initially and then I realised it was not something I could
1:28.6	look at by itself. So then I expanded the scope of it to include things like burnout, fatigue

1:42.8	centre, a questionnaire to a couple of listservs
