About
Welcome to the RVC Veterinary Nurses Investigate podcast hosted by Sarah Batt-Williams & Lyndsay Wade. We will explore the evidence behind the nursing practices that we use every day. We will be discussing how you might go about asking clinical questions and answering them, interviewing vets and nurses who know how and providing a platform to share the results of clinical audits, as well as encouraging you to get involved in clinical research in your practice. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
