121 Veterinary Sustainability

Author: The Royal Veterinary College November 20, 2020 Duration: 1:02:43

Joining myself and Brian in our virtual studio we are delighted to have Dr Zoë Halfacree, who after many years with the soft tissue team at the RVC has moved to Davies Veterinary Specialists. We have spoken to Zoë previously on the podcast about a variety of subjects, though her passion now has centred on veterinary sustainability. We talk to Zoë about what this is, why and how we can get involved and why we should start now. We hope that you 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.
