Abstract

ABSTRACT: Veterinary related needles stick injuries have the potential to cause significant, life changing injuries. Despite this they are still reported frequently to the Veterinary Medicines Directorate (VMD). There are also many anecdotal stories surrounding the culture and practice of using needles in veterinary medicine that suggest a high level of additional needle stick injuries may go unreported. The aim of this article is to highlight the dangers of veterinary related needle stick injuries and equip members of the veterinary team to feel empowered to seek appropriate treatment should they sustain such an injury.
