In this episode, Lucy sits down with Imogen Burrows, BEVA's current President, to discuss a brand-new resource designed for those all-too-familiar out-of-hours dilemmas: urgent cases involving equids of unknown ownership.

 

Imogen talks through why she created this one-stop shop toolkit, developed with support from the RSPCA and the Police, to support vets who find themselves in situations where the owner can't be traced and quick decisions are needed.

 

Together, they explore:

• why these cases can be so challenging, especially for vets who haven't encountered them before
• What's inside the toolkit and how it can help you
• How the RSPCA and Police contributed to its development
• Real-world scenarios where the resources can be invaluable

In recent years we've talked a lot about how we try to get clients to change their behaviours but how do we make changes in our practice or the profession? Realistically the method is the same but for both it can be really easy to fall into doing what's known in the behaviour change world as an "ISLAGIATT" (it seemed like a good idea at the time) approach. Listen in as Melissa, equine vet turned researcher turned behaviour change specialist, tells us about a useful framework and strategy to help us not waste our time and energy on doing things that are unlikely to have the impact we want them to.
