Ep033 – FIVP Practice Matters: The Links Group on domestic abuse

PRACTICE MATTERS Federation of Independent Veterinary Practices

This episode contains discussion of domestic abuse and animal abuse.

Abuse in any form is something we don’t often like to think of, let alone talk about. Especially in a professional capacity, and for members of a caring profession like veterinary, even just acknowledging that an animal’s injury may be deliberate can be incredibly challenging.  Sadly, there is robust evidence that animals can also be abused in households where people are being abused.

On this episode of ‘Practice Matters’ we are joined by VICKI BETTON, Vice Chair and Trustee and also Director of Global Impact at iCatCare, who explains more about the work of the charity. For more information, read The Links Group’s brochure.

As ever, we would love to hear from your practice about this, or any other topic where ‘practice matters’. Send us a Voice Note on WhatsApp to 07709 83 68 65
