The next episode of Animal Welfare Conversations is now available. It's just Mary this week, looking at the findings of the CMA report into veterinary care provision in the UK, and the impact of this on animal welfare. As veterinary care has changed dramatically in the past 20 years, we ask, what do owners want from their vet? Post your thoughts here.

Animal welfare and rat tickling - well worth a look.

Following on from launching Animal Welfare Conversations I was reviewing some of the discussions to see if there were any topics that seemed to crop up in every conversation. And yes, it seemed that education is a topic that is mentioned throughout most of the episodes. Educating the public, owners,...

In this episode, we meet veterinary surgeon Dr Tanya Stephens BVSc, MSc, IAWEL, MANZCVS, FRCVS. Tanya is a veterinary practitioner in Australia, who has been able to combine a clinical career in practice alongside research on kangaroos, actively supported the profession, completed further studies in the area of animal welfare, and received a number of awards for her veterinary work.
Her main interests are in animal welfare, research, evidence based practice, ethics and sustainability and she has recently edited One Welfare in Practice, The Role of the Veterinarian.
This conversation is well timed - In the week when the CMA announced that they will launch a formal market investigation into the veterinary industry, we consider treatment choices, decision making, the cost of veterinary treatment, why the term ‘gold standard’ is not a phrase we should be using in veterinary practice and how all of this impacts on animal welfare.
As always, if you enjoy the podcast please follow us and sign up to our newsletter. We would love you to join ‘The Animal Welfare Conversation’.

In the next episode of The Animal Welfare Conversation we are joined by Joe Bailey, CEO of the Humanimal Trust, a charity set up in 2014 by Professor Noel Fitzpatrick to support collaboration between human health professionals and veterinary professionals, to enable knowledge sharing for the benefit of humans and animals. We find out more about one medicine and discover why education is central to improving animal welfare. We consider sentience and how important it is to ensure that all animals have choice; and look in more depth at why complacency can be one of the biggest challenges to animal welfare. And finally, Joe highlights how everyone can make a difference, and how great things can be achieved if everyone does one small thing every day.

The next episode of Animal Welfare Conversations is now available.

This week we catch up with Dr Matt Morgan, Consultant in Intensive Care Medicine, adjunct Professor, regular BMJ columnist and author of One Medicine - What animals can teach us and why it matters.

We chat about the physiological, anatomical and behavioural similarities between humans and animals and how we can improve veterinary care for animals, alongside improving medical care for humans. We find out more about the concept of one medicine, how human medicine advances were inspired by the animal world, the importance of a joint education for vets and medics, and consider what the medical profession can learn from vets :)

Why a podcast for veterinary nurses?
It’s simple.
Animal welfare is the number one topic that affects every human who works with animals (and all the humans who love animals). As a topic, it is huge - and reaches far beyond our understanding right now.
Which is why we’re opening up the conversation.
One thing we know for sure is that it’s essential to bring vet nurses into the heart of the topic.
We believe that veterinary nurses have so much to contribute - they work on the front line. We also know how important it is for veterinary nurses to be kept up to date with all that’s going on in animal welfare. To improve their practice, give them confidence and insight into topics relevant to practice.
That’s why we’re aiming this podcast at veterinary nurses, but we know it will be invaluable to veterinary students, vets and anyone who loves working with animals in general.
We’re launching soon - get on our mailing list so you can get the first episode as soon as it’s published.
