Joining Brian and myself remotely we are delighted to have Rosie Allister, manager of the vetlife helpline. We had planned to catch up following her completing the London Marathon this year and speaking to our students, however she recorded a lecture for our students this year as we all come to terms with the new normal. We speak about how things have been going with vetlife and have there been any noticeable trends for callers with the current pandemic and lockdown. We also speak about her PhD, now that she can tell us more. Lots of great points and food for thought for our profession not only in these current times though beyond. We hope that you enjoy.

We are delighted today to have Ashley Hartley joining Bri and myself in the studio. Ashley is a staff clinician in internal medicine here at the RVC. Although she’d really like to talk about Trypanosoma cruzi infections we thought we’d speak about gallbladder mucoceles instead.  Ashley is passionate about all things to do with internal medicine, in particular infectious diseases, and we are grateful for her coming into the studio to share her thoughts today. We hope that you enjoy.
