“…Reflective practice is a fundamental component of professional and personal development and can provide an opportunity to encourage further self-directed learning (Fontaine, 2018). It can also be used as a powerful tool to increase confidence, through considering the skills that were effectively utilised, how engagement with the client provided a positive outcome, and through promoting repetition of the skills and methods that were beneficial.…”

This paper reports on a research project to develop a framework for consultations by veterinary nurses with their clients. The resulting framework, the Veterinary Nurse-Client Communication Matrix (VNCCM), identifies the components of communication between veterinary nurse and client and outlines the skills and approaches that can be used to achieve these components. Specific inclusion of techniques such as motivational interviewing, shared decision-making, achieving informed consent and reflection highlight the innovative approach to communication offered by this new model.The paper discusses the processes that led to the creation of the VNCCM, the relationship of the VNCCM to other communication models/frameworks, and what the VNCCM offers in addition to previous models. In conclusion, the paper highlights the need for dissemination of the VNCCM to the veterinary professions and for its incorporation into continuing professional development to facilitate ongoing development of veterinary nurse-client communication.

Living educational theory is a paradigm for scientific research in the academic discipline of education in which a teacher theorises her/his own professional practice. Using a kind of action research, she/he reflects on her/his educational values, and on the practice-solutions which were developed therefrom. The outcome is a ‘living educational theory' which describes and explains her/his professional practice, with educational values as its elementary unit. The teacher substantiates this living educational theory by demonstrating how the educational values are embodied in her/his professional practice. As such, living education theory could be considered a model of continuing professional development. The purpose of this article, therefore, is to review living educational theory. It begins by tracing the origins of living educational theory. It then describes the characteristics of living educational theory. Finally, it discusses the criticisms of living educational theory.
