Author: The Royal Veterinary College December 13, 2019 Duration: 22:15

We are coming to the end of another year and well today other events happened in the UK. Anyway regardless of that we have been trying to get Associate Professor of Veterinary Dermatology Anette Loeffler into the studio for a while now, she was a little short of time though has promised to come back again next year. Luckily Brian was on hand to sort out the audio. We discussed what it means if you come up against MRSP – methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus pseudintermedius. Enjoy.

Hosted by Dominic Barfield, with technical support from Brian Cox, Veterinary Clinical Podcasts from The Royal Veterinary College opens a direct channel to the minds of its faculty and specialist clinicians. Each episode delves into clinically relevant material designed to be immediately useful, whether you're in a busy practice, on a farm visit, or preparing for a challenging case. The conversations are grounded in real-world science and medicine, stripping away the academic formality to focus on what truly matters for animal care. You might find yourself listening during a commute or between appointments, gaining practical insights that bridge the gap between theory and daily veterinary work. This podcast doesn't cater to just one experience level; it offers valuable perspectives for those taking their first steps in the profession as well as seasoned practitioners looking to refresh or deepen their knowledge. The Royal Veterinary College leverages its expertise to create a resource that feels like an ongoing, informal seminar, covering the nuances and evolving discussions within veterinary medicine. It’s a consistent source of professional development, delivered in a conversational format that makes complex topics accessible and engaging.
