It's our 50th episode today! Sometimes when you’re editing a podcast, the most frustrating part is how much of the gold just can’t quite make the cut, as there isn’t time to squeeze everything in to each episode.

They say that ‘teamwork makes the dream work’ right, and I couldn’t agree more. This ethos was so evident when I chatted to Kelly Burrow, Inês Serrão, and Avner Hoida from Medivet in Enfield. Kelly became a partner at Medivet at a relatively young age, but is clearly an inspiring and caring boss, and I was so impressed by her, Inês and Avner. They’…

They have, between them, work…

There are many of us in the vet world who love to learn, and I know a lot of vets and nurses relish the time they get to spend acquiring new skills and new knowledge, and how much pleasure it can give people to master something different.

One thing I’ve really noticed since doing these podcasts is how amazing it is that when you start being honest and open about things that you find other people have been through the same things as you.
