- BEVApod Focus - How to approach behaviour change with Melissa Upjohn and Sophie Eaden (00:25:35)
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.

- BEVApod Life: Veterinary Careers - a journey to anywhere with repro vet Kate Dugher (00:21:08)
Kate wasn't sure she wanted to be a vet and without the required subjects for traditional course entry, she embarked on Nottingham's 'prelim' course. She took her time exploring options with mixed practice, first opinion equine, before undertaking an internship. Following this she used her 'veterinary passport' to make the most of seeing the worlds and has settled for an antipodean life as a repro vet... for now! Currently she is working towards her Diploma with the American College of Theriogenologists via the alternate pathway, and has hopes for furthering assisted reproductive techniques in New Zealand's South Island.

- BEVApod Focus: The role of equine RVNs in emergency rescue situations with Jim Green and Marie Rippingale (00:27:58)
Following on from the publication of BEVA's Schedule 3 guidelines in 2023, Marie and the BEVA Nurse Committee have been working hard with Jim Green at BARTA to understand the role of the equine RVN in emergency rescue situations. The new guidelines being published jointly by BEVA and BARTA aim to highlight the role of the RVN during these high stress and challenging situations to further improve animal welfare, client communication and team work with other professionals. It is hoped that these guidelines will help to empower RVNs to utilise their skills and develop new and rewarding roles within the equine veterinary profession. Check out the guidance here.
