Paddy Gordon, owner of a mixed practice and farm vet, discusses his observations and experience in vet recruitment and retention. Increasing student numbers are coming through University but equine and farm need to be given sufficient opportunity and encouragement to allow students to select these careers. Paddy will highlight how practitioners can help students with early experience as well as support students most effectively through EMS. Championing success has also been important in developing the Farm Vet of the Future competition. Paddy has 30 years experience in practice and is working with Bristol and Surrey vet schools.

BEVApod Focus episode: multi-drug resistant Rhodococcus equi with Fleur Whitlock

Fleur, EIDS epidemiologist, provides an overview of the 2023 Q4 Equine Quarterly Disease Surveillance Report Focus Article, authored by Jose Vazquez-Boland and his team at the University of Edinburgh. Given how we’ve managed R. equi infections over the years, it's not surprising that we're now confronted with a troubling silent pandemic of multi-resistance. Eradicating it once it establishes itself in a country will prove immensely challenging, emphasising the critical importance of surveillance contributions within the UK. Discover how you can play a part in making a difference.

Focus Article: Update on emerging multidrug-resistant Rhodococcus equi

Having supported some of the world's top equestrian teams both at home and at Championships over a number of years, Ben has worked alongside some of the most experienced vets, physiotherapists and saddle fitters, and hence has an appreciation for the importance of teamwork.This approach is no less important when dealing with a happy hacker or retired pony, and the difference between what can be achieved when working alone Vs in collaboration with each other is vast. In today's world, communicating and growing knowledge together has never been easier and should be embraced at every opportunity.
