Episode 17 - What impact does behaviour have on animal welfare?
With Nikki McLeod BSc(Hons) PGDip(CAB) NCert(Behav) RVN ISFM CertFN & AdvCertFB
In this episode we focus on animal behaviour and the impact behavioural problems can have on animal welfare. We consider how important it is for all veterinary professionals to understand animal behaviour both to prevent and cure problems. We also focus on veterinary nursing, and the need for veterinary nurses to play a key role in improving animal welfare through behavioral awareness and education. Along the way Nikki tells us more about her career, taking time out, and following her own path in the world of animal behaviour.
Nikki qualified as a Registered Veterinary Nursing in 2000 and later going to complete a veterinary nursing degree. She now focusses on the world of behaviour, having undertaken more qualifications in this area, alongside hosting her own podcast BehaviouRVNs. (BehaviouRVNs | Podcast on Spotify). She is a BVNA Council Member and was recently appointed BVNA Treasurer.
