The Vet Record Podcast

In this episode, Caroline Scobie speaks about her interest in evidence-based veterinary medicine and how that has led to collaborations outside of the traditional practitioner role. Her interest has been furthered by undertaking an MSc in evidence-based medicine and that has led to Caroline taking a closer look at what diagnostics can do and the limitations. She explains how her nosiness is the ideal skill for a vet, both with clients and with colleagues.

In this episode, David talks about making the change to study veterinary science after initially starting another degree. He discusses how he got into farm vetting despite having no background in the sector, and the value of having skills from other non-veterinary work—in this case, running a bar—and maintaining a flexible attitude. He shares his proud moment of representing Black British veterinary students in the USA, the importance of supportive colleagues and the need to look for opportunities when things don't go as planned.
