In this episode Simon and Duncan talk to the Senior Vice Chairman of BVOA and RCVS specialist in orthopaedics Mark Bush. Mark tells us about his career and the BVOA mentoring scheme. We also discussed using CT modelled guides and plates, intraoperative radiography, shoulder arthrodesis, as well as two interesting radial fracture cases recently discussed on the BVOA discussion group. The xrays discussed can be accessed here https://tinyurl.com/3jatbses

For part two of our librela discussions we were delighted to interview Louise Clark, a specialist anaesthetist who was a co-author on the paper 'Musculoskeletal adverse events in dogs receiving Bedinvetmab (Librela).' We also chat about Louise’s career, explore pain management more broadly, delve into stem cell treatment, and pick up some handy tips for anaesthetising patients undergoing orthopaedic surgery.

Welcome to our first episode of the BVOA podcast! We're delighted to have Professor John Innes on as a guest to talk to us about his recent paper on Bedinvetmab, or Librela. There is plenty of debate about this drug currently and this is the first of two episodes that we have done on it. Enjoy :-)
