The Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) innovation initiative ViVet has produced a new series of podcasts which aim to help veterinary professionals develop an innovative and entrepreneurial mindset and apply this in their everyday practice.
Developed as part of our ViVet initiative and designed to ensure veterinary professionals are at the centre of innovation in the animal health sector.
Episode 1 -
Diverse mindsets needed. The need to collaborate to achieve better outcomes.
Innovation is not an individual activity, a team is needed to provide thought diversity, missing skills and support when the journey is hard.
The six podcasts are presented by Harvey Wade, Founder and Managing Director of innovation consultancy Innovate21 which aims to help businesses, organisations and sectors embed innovation within their plans and strategies.
RCVS ViVet Podcast's can of course be counted towards your CPD targets if they align with your objectives for the year.

In another Awards episode we talk to Dr Alemayehu Hailemariam, one of the winners of this year's RCVS International Awards.
He leads the Brooke equine charity's animal health programme in Ethiopia, and across various roles has helped an estimated 600,000 animals across Ethiopia. This is one of the world’s largest populations of working equids, belonging to some of the world’s poorest communities, who often rely upon their animals for their livelihoods. Dr Hailemariam’s work is therefore one of the finest examples of how a vet can serve their whole community.
