Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Get to know our new President
Q: What are the next steps after the white paper?
Draft instructions to parliamentary draftsmen will convert policy into law, followed by a draft bill likely next spring, then securing a bill slot and parliamentary passage; afterward, charter reforms and secondary legislation will be needed to implement the changes gradually.
Get to know our new President
Q: Could you talk through why this legislative change is so important for the future of the professions?
The act dates from 1966 and is outdated; the white paper offers modernisation that enables a single umbrella regulator to oversee professionals and eventually businesses, with a more flexible license to practice and a tenure for higher standards, ultimately benefiting animal health, welfare, and public confidence.
VN visionaries - shaping the future of veterinary nursing
Q: What are your hopes for the future of this research and its impact on veterinary nursing education?
The researchers hope to prioritise veterinary nursing mental health in training and embed mental health principles across curricula, with supportive structures for tutors and practitioners to build confidence and sustainable practice changes.
Let's Talk Adjustments
Q: What were the aims of the campaign, and how did it intend to impact practice?
The campaign aimed to start important conversations about disability and reasonable adjustments, build awareness, provide resources, and empower managers and staff to implement practical changes in their workplaces.
Let's Talk Adjustments
Q: Could you give a bit of a broad explanation about Reasonable Adjustments and the legal framework behind them?
Reasonable adjustments are changes that remove or reduce disadvantages linked to disability and are supported by the Equality Act 2010 and related legislation, ensuring employers make accommodations to enable equitable participation.
