Gooday, Dominic Barfield here, and this is the RVC Clinical Podcast. Thank you for listening

and thank you for subscribing on your smartphone or generic fruit-based device. We're really

grateful for you to taking the time to download and listen to this, obviously, podcast. We

don't ask for much in return. We'll be incredibly grateful if you could pop to Apple podcast or ACAS

and leave us a review or any podcast provider that you actually listen to this on. Obviously a five-star review would be great. Other reviews you can leave to

different veterinary podcasts, that's fine. But we really appreciate if you could take a couple

minutes of your time to leave us a review. So today joining Brian and myself in the studio,

we're going to talk to Dave Beeson. Hello, Dave. How are you? Oh, good thanks. Thanks

for having me. Not too better. If you remember, so we, I can't actually remember the actual podcast number. I should have certainly recorded that. But we spoke to Dave about this time last year as, I suppose, the transition from a student into general practice. And now it's a year on. Where's the year gone? It's gone very, very quickly.

Yeah, very quickly. Kind of blurs. So we thought we'd catch up with you and find out what's,

what's going on in your life and how you found this sort of, I suppose, this progression, if you like,

of that transition. It's very managerial speak, isn't it? But yeah, this continues sort of transition in your career.

So are you still at the same clinic that you've done? Yeah, yeah. So I'm still my first job,

really enjoying it. Kind of getting a little bit more comfortable with day-to-day stuff.

We're chatting before about just the routine things, just kind of becoming routine now.

So I think it's just something that you have to go through as a new graduate is you start thinking,

you go in and you think about everything you do.

And when you do it a lot of times, and I guess practice makes perfect, you start thinking about other

aspects that you can improve and just the routine day-to-day consulting.

I don't generally think about as much.

Obviously, I'm thinking during the consult, but I have my set way of taking a history and my set physical exam.

I'm kind of refining as I go on, so getting a lot more comfortable with things.
