Summary
Joining Brian and myself in the studio we are delighted to have Rosie Allistair, manager of the vetlife helpline. She has come to us following completing the London Marathon the previous day and is going to talk to our final year students about vetlife, so we thought that we’d ask her to talk about it on the pod. Rosie is also near completion of her PhD at the University of Edinburgh fooling a cohort of veterinary students enter the profession. We hope that you enjoy.
