Sophie Eaden and Vicky Jux are joined by guest, Hannah Perrin, for the first of our BEVAxSPVS podcasts to talk about the challenges of leadership and how having the right network can help. Hannah brings a wealth of experience and expertise to this topic and shares with us her S.P.A.C.E acronym for the people you need around you. The discussion then delves into why you need those people and where you can find them.

We're excited to be bringing you a whole series of BEVAxSPVS podcasts covering a variety of topics so keep your eyes peeled and ears open for future episodes.

This episode is the audio from December's (2025) Clinical Catch Up, titled "The Cascade in practice" where BEVA President, Imogen Burrows, talks to internal medicine specialist, Mark Bowen, about the use of the Cascade in equine practice.

In recent years we've talked a lot about how we try to get clients to change their behaviours but how do we make changes in our practice or the profession? Realistically the method is the same but for both it can be really easy to fall into doing what's known in the behaviour change world as an "ISLAGIATT" (it seemed like a good idea at the time) approach. Listen in as Melissa, equine vet turned researcher turned behaviour change specialist, tells us about a useful framework and strategy to help us not waste our time and energy on doing things that are unlikely to have the impact we want them to.
