154 Snake envenomation

Author: The Royal Veterinary College February 27, 2026 Duration: 58:24

Joining us on the podcast we are delighted to have the amazing Dr Claire Sharp. Claire is Associate Professor at Murdoch University (Perth, Australia) and has such a wide range of academic interests we could talk to her about anything from trauma to sepsis, coagulation to CPR but we thought we would have an antipodean chat about snake envenomation. From clinical presentation to tips on treatment recommendations as well as what the future holds, we hope that you enjoy.

Each episode delves into clinically relevant material designed to be immediately useful, whether you're in a busy practice, on a farm visit, or preparing for a challenging case.
