BEVApod Life: SPANA, societal change and scrambled eggs with Dr Youness Elouasbi & Dave Rendle

"Dr Youness has extensive experience of treating working equids as well as working on projects to educate and change attitudes to animal welfare in Morocco. I met him 10 years ago when he came and stayed with me whilst also seeing practice. I can’t remember how this came to pass but it was an absolute pleasure having him stay with us and getting to know him and understand more about his work in Morocco. It was great to be able to catch up with him at BEVA Congress and hear how his work has changed in the intervening years and also hear about the response to recent devastating earthquake." - Dave Rendle

BEVA Nurse Committee Chair, Marie Rippingale, explains what Schedule 3 means to everyone in practice, including the potential impacts it can have on our workforce, practice efficiency and productivity, and ultimately, our patients.

BEVApod Life: Being patient, changing tack and making the most of what you have with Lorna Brokenshire-Dyke

Lorna went to vet school as a mature student, and did what she could to accelerate her learning and gaining of experience. After 2 internships and ambulatory work she had to change tack to locuming, in order to raise her twin boys, one of whom was disabled and underwent major surgery in the USA. Identifying a need to be flexible in her work, she has since gone on to train as an equine physiotherapist as a parallel career to a part-time ambulatory vet role. Never short of ambition and determination, Lorna recognises that all this has been possible thanks to her network of support forged throughout life. When asked what the future holds, she was happy to report she intends to hit cruise control, and enjoy what she has.
