"Just a Flesh Wound" and "'Tis But a Scratch" — Why Workplace Injuries Deserve More Attention
Description
Join us for a hard-hitting episode with Dr John Tulloch, Lecturer in Veterinary Public Health and RCVS Specialist, as we unpack a critical but often overlooked topic: workplace injury in the veterinary profession.
We’ll cover:
How the profession defines a workplace injury and the legal/occupational framework behind it
Patterns and risks of injury in equine and farm veterinarians, based on recent field research
Common hazards and incidents in veterinary teaching hospitals and clinics, from sharps injuries to animal handling accidents
Practical steps clinics and individual veterinarians can take to reduce risk and foster safer working environments
If you’ve ever wondered what “occupational health” really means for veterinary workers, or if you're concerned about safety in your workplace, this episode is for you.
