Summary
In and amongst all the science and medicine that are at the centre of veterinary practice, it is essential that we don't overlook the overarching principles and considerations relating to Ethics and Animal Welfare. After all, they have to be a guiding light for what we do in clinical practice. This is the first in a two-part mini-series of podcast episodes featuring Martin Whiting, Lecturer in Veterinary Ethics and Law here at the RVC. In these episodes we discuss a variety of topics and issues. We start with discussing what 'veterinary ethics' and 'animal welfare' mean and then spend the remainder of the time seeing how these concepts apply to a variety of small animal clinical scenarios. The podcasts end with some comments on professional ethics in the context of regulatory bodies.

| 0:00.0 | So hello, welcome back to the Small Animal Clinical Podcasts, brought to you from the Rorabetany College in London. |
| 0:07.1 | My name is Shaylan Jasani. Before we get into today's podcast, I just wanted to take a moment to thank the people that have rated or reviewed the podcast in iTunes. |
| 0:17.7 | I'm pleased to say that we're now up to 17 ratings, so we're slowly creeping up, and they're all five-star, which is completely awesome. |
| 0:26.9 | I especially wanted to thank the listeners who have actually taken the time to write reviews since the last episode we recorded. |
| 0:34.3 | So they are a young lady by the name of Mandela Lewis, who is a fourth-year Liverpool vet student, |
| 0:40.3 | someone who calls themselves fourth-year RVC, and because I'm clever this way, I'm assuming that means that they're a fourth-year RVC student. |
| 0:48.3 | And Claire Burns, who is a veterinary nurse. |
| 0:51.3 | I can't read out all of your comments, but they were really lovely and supportive, |
| 0:55.0 | and I'm very grateful for that. |
| 0:58.1 | And so thanks very much. |

| 1:03.8 | I always say that the way that iTunes is set up, |
| 1:06.6 | the more ratings and reviews we get, |
| 1:08.9 | the easier it is for other people to find the podcast |
| 1:11.8 | and therefore to get some free education. |
| 1:16.3 | Okay, so let's get on with our podcast today, and I'm really looking forward to today's episode. |
| 1:21.0 | It's one of those ones that I've wanted to do for some time, and actually one of you, |
| 1:25.2 | the listeners, mentioned it to me quite a few months ago. |
| 1:29.6 | And we're going to be talking about veterinary ethics and animal welfare in clinical practice. |
| 1:35.4 | And obviously, we're going to hear a little bit more about what that means, but these are things that are entirely central and core to our kind of daily activities in clinical practice. So I'm really, |
| 1:45.4 | really interested to do today's podcast. I'm joined for today's podcast by Martin Whiting, |
