“The veterinary sector has some truly amazing people making it happen, daily and nightly, in companion animal, farm and equine practice. These intelligent, hardworking, dedicated individuals perform very challenging roles.

My aim was not to make working life any harder for them than it needs to be! I never wanted to be the acronym-heavy, clipboard-toting nay-sayer, but instead to make this fundamental part of daily life in practice, where risk IS abundant, more palatable, less onerous, or ‘box tick’ centric ......and offer a real-world approach to veterinary Health & Safety.”
