In this episode of Practice Matters, we sit down with Dr. Hannah Godfrey from VetLed to explore how simulation training is revolutionising team performance in independent veterinary practices. High-pressure emergencies can easily trigger communication breakdowns, clinical errors, and immense staff stress. Hannah explains how independent practices can adopt immersive, aviation-style simulations to practice these critical scenarios in a safe, zero-risk environment.
The discussion centres on VetLed’s “Train the Trainer” approach, which equips practice leaders with the skills to design realistic emergency scenarios and facilitate constructive, blame-free debriefs. Listeners will learn how understanding “Human Factors”—the science of how teams interact under stress—can transform everyday clinical workflows, case reviews, and practice culture.
Tune in to discover how your independent practice can adopt simulation training to build a highly resilient, collaborative team, elevate patient safety, and significantly protect staff wellbeing.
