Vet Professionals is pleased to offer a number of free-to-access podcasts aimed at both veterinary professionals and pet owners. Sessions are hosted and presented by RCVS Specialist in Feline Medicine and CEO of Vet Professionals, Dr Sarah Caney. For Owners - Cat Café: In April 2020, during the global Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and with countries in ‘lockdown’ many cat owners have found their access to veterinary services limited. To this end, Vet Professionals started a fortnightly Cat Café, where Feline Specialist Dr Sarah Caney provides a free online talk for approx. 30mins to help support owners. You can listen to Sarah's talks via our podcasts here. For Vets/VN's - Ten Minute Tips: Following demand from veterinary professionals for a similar initiative, Sarah also hosts fortnightly ‘ten minute tips’ sessions, providing clinical CPD for vets and vet nurses with a passion for feline medicine. You can listen to Sarah's talks via our podcasts here. To attend future live sessions, please visit our video tutorials page on our website for details on how to join at www.vetprofessionals.com
