PetsApp Podcast Series

In this episode, our very own Lewis Martins talk with our CEO, Thom Jenkins about the challenges practices can face when recommending products and services, and how the approach and use of technology can help remove those barriers,  increase patient advocacy opportunities and compliance. 

Liz and Thom talk about breaking down the health taboos that many working vet team members are living with, and how we as a profession can better support individuals in the workplace.

In December last year Anna was diagnosed with breast cancer. She is in her early thirties, was a fit and healthy vet with no family history of breast cancer.  Luckily, she found the lump early which has meant her treatment has hopefully been successful. She was alerted to the importance of checking her breasts by a poster she saw in the gym.  If she hadn't discovered the lump until a few weeks or months later then her future might be very different.

Statistics show 1 in 8 women are diagnosed in their lifetime and the numbers of women in the veterinary profession is increasing.

We think it is very important to increase awareness about this. With breast cancer early detection means that there is a much better chance of being cured or surviving it. Throughout Anna's treatments she has been working on the idea of putting up a poster in every veterinary practice and vet school changing -room in the UK to remind people to check themselves.
