Veterinary Clinical Podcasts

We’re back, thanks to the one listener who asked where we were, I would like to say on a cruise, though in reality that wasn’t the case. Anyhow we are in the studio, with Brian and joined by Aarti Kathrani one of our senior lecturers here in Internal Medicine. Aarti has a particular interest in GI diseases, so we thought that we’d ask her for her approach to manage dogs and cats with diarrhoea. Having discussed this, there are certainly more topics that we would like to ask her in the future.

Joining myself in the studio we are delighted to have Mary de Las Casas, a PDP Post Graduate Dean working for the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (the UK regulatory body of the veterinary profession), talking about the PDP. A fitting time since most veterinary schools in the UK have finished their final examinations (well done) and this is the UK’s version of helping new veterinary graduates transition into their professional life and reflect on their practice. We appreciate that it is a national topic, though it does raise the question about post graduate education and where we are headed as a profession, which is applicable to all. We hope that you enjoy.  Some pages of interest: https://www.rcvs.org.uk/home/ https://www.rcvs.org.uk/lifelong-learning/professional-development-phase-pdp/ If you have any comments about this podcast, please get in touch: email dbarfield@rvc.ac.uk; tweet @dombarfield.

Joining Brian and myself in the studio we are delighted to have Professor Holger Volk, guru of neurology and neurosurgery, though internationally renowned for his (and his teams) work on epilepsy.   Holger spoke to Shailen in the first RVC clinical podcast and being sentimental we thought we’d ask him back for our hundredth podcast. A lot has happened in the last 6 years and we thought that we’d catch up with what has changed. We hope that you enjoy.

Joining Brian and myself in the studio we are delighted to have the fabulous Matthew Pead, senior lecturer in small animal orthopaedics here at the RVC. Matthew has been in and around the RVC for over 30 years and can speak eloquently on a variety of topics from opera and fine art to educational theory. We thought we should narrow it down to Elbow dysplasia. Matthew bought in his dog, Jack, who has elbow dysplasia and we have attached a short video of Matthew performing a forelimb physical exam. It has taken us 99 podcasts to include another medium. We hope that you enjoy.

In the studio and with better audio now that Brian is recording this time, we are joined a year later by a previous RVC graduate Dave Beeston. We follow up on Dave’s transition into being a professional and find out if he still cooks once a week to prepare all his meals. He continues to be involved in a variety of different things and no doubt he will have his own podcast shortly. Makes me think what have I done in the last year? Not sure that we will continue as long as Michael Apted following Dave, but we will try to get him back next year. Dave will be back writing his column in the Vet Times in the new year.

Forced out of the studio, we find ourselves in Brian’s office. We are lucky enough to have Sarah Stewart join us who is one of our staff clinicians in internal medicine and oncology here at the RVC. She did her training at the AMC in New York and has a great approach to managing cases, and one of her passions which spans both internal medicine and oncology is the approach to cats we suspect have IBD or lymphoma. We hope that you enjoy.  Some papers of interest with links provided by Sarah: Some good review articles: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22736679 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23677821  (paper at link below as not available via pubmed): http://vetfolio-vetstreet.s3.amazonaws.com/9a/586420bbf211e2b140005056ad4734/file/PV2013_Al-Ghazlat1_CE.pdf https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23814916 (paper at link below as not available via pubmed): https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/458f/0ee8ec2b3d99acfd55160d303774f43c9a95.pdf If you have any comments about this podcast, please

Today we are joined by Elsa Beltran one of our fabulous lecturers in small animal neurology and neurosurgery here at the RVC. We are in the studio, and Brian is on the whistles and faders, so hopefully the audio quality is good from the start.

We are back in the studio, and our second take we actually located Brian to help record. We are joined by Sarah Stewart who is one of our staff clinicians in internal medicine and oncology here at the RVC.

This is the second part of the conversation that we had with Roser Tetas, one of our fantastic lecturers in veterinary ophthalmology here at the RVC. We talk about some common ophthalmic conditions in horses. There are some ophthalmology courses run through the RVC CPD (other course providers are available, though not sure that they would all be given a 5-star rating!) https://cpd.rvc.ac.uk/cpd-courses/equine-ophthalmology Some papers of interest: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/28985983 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/24995630 If you have any comments about this podcast, please get in touch: email dbarfield@rvc.ac.uk; tweet @dombarfield.
