Tune in to RCVS Knowledge-Evidence-based Veterinary Medicine for thoughtful conversations that bridge the gap between published research and the daily realities of veterinary practice. This podcast, presented by RCVS Knowledge, delves into how the principles of evidence-based medicine can be directly applied to improve care for a wide range of animals, from family pets to livestock. Each episode features discussions with clinicians, researchers, and specialists who explore the practical interpretation of scientific studies, clinical guidelines, and systematic reviews. Listeners will gain insights into critically appraising new information, implementing proven techniques, and navigating the complexities of treatment decisions when definitive evidence is still emerging. Geared towards veterinary professionals and students, the content also resonates with dedicated pet owners in the science and family categories who seek a deeper understanding of animal health. The overall aim is to foster a culture of informed inquiry within the veterinary community, moving beyond tradition to prioritize the best available evidence for every patient. This series is an audio extension of a broader mission to advance the quality and consistency of care across the profession.
