The MacVet Podcast

Positive mental attitude


Listen Later

Pete Orpin began his career like so many vets do; concerned that he'd make mistakes and not have enough knowledge to be a 'good vet'.

However, he soon realised that it was far more important to focus on forging strong relationships with his clients, to build trust and work together to approach problem solving on farm.

He applied this approach when co-creating the myhealthyherd.com herd health management tool, to facilitate herd health planning between vets and farmers.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • setting your mind into a position of positivity
  • does the veterinary profession place too much emphasis on clinical knowledge
  • the similarities between tortoise and cattle veterinary work

  • Listen in to hear Pete's thoughts on communication, cows and coffee!
