Fantastic session at @VetEd2023 on using observational drawing for undergraduate veterinary students by Rosie MacDiarmid. So relaxing! Fantastic to see such great initiatives at Liverpool vet school. @LivUni_IVES @LivUni. Disclaimer - I did not draw the excellent skull!

Very kind of @SVMS_COI to say! I was honoured to present the project at @VetEd2023 at @EdinburghUni. I was happy to present the results of some of my work undertaken at @LivUni_IVES. #veted #veted2023 #research #veterinary #edinburgh #equinevet #liverpooluni

Great equine castrate model by Dr H Braid this afternoon, achievable, economically viable, sharing resources - this is what the VetEd event is about 👌 #veted2023 @VetEd2023

Brilliant talk from Dr Drinkall @SVMS_COI on utilising 3D printing to enhance teaching of exotic animal handling, anatomy and procedures. Some great talks in the clinical skills sessions, good work everyone! @VetEd2023 #veted #veted2023 #veterinaryeducation #research

@CormarCarpets Hi - our three year old carpet has a defect. I have made three attempts to contact your customer service team over the last month and have received no reply. Please can you look into this? I’ve tried [email protected] and the website contact form.

[Helen Braid @Smell07]

@MrsOfTheGee @ShitChester Minerva Lodge are brilliant.

@Anonyvet Try athlete’s foot cream, should sort it out.

@jeclsm I got the 90s and 00s. Not the 10s and certainly not the main Heardle from today 🤦‍♀️

@tamzinfurtado @rsmith_becky @LivUni_IVES @horsetrust Congratulations Becky!! 💪

@BrownHospMed I’ll never forget one of our microbiology lecturers telling us this useful life tip: “if you ever go to someone’s house and they offer you home canned or jarred food, go to the bathroom, open the window, climb out and run away”.

@vet_boys @Vet_Record @ucdavisvetmed Heartbreaking that such barbaric practice is not illegal.

[Helen Braid @Smell07]

@LDellas @Anonyvet I complimented them on the diet they’d implemented and how much weight it’d lost. Evidently the conversation worked, just a shame it upset them!

[Helen Braid @Smell07]

@Anonyvet Disclaimer - I am incredibly recognisable. I also try really really hard not to offend clients with the overweight conversation but evidently my communication needed work that day!

[Helen Braid @Smell07]

@Anonyvet I had one once where the client described being really offended that the last vet told them that their horse was overweight. They’d asked for me instead because the other vet upset them so much. I checked the records. I was that vet. For some reason they didn’t recognise me.

@GetSet_Vet Pretty sure the fastest and only route into those things is to give them to a toddler to open.

@BrownHospMed Cat scratch fever? Bartonella henselae?

[Helen Braid @Smell07]

@txdvm1 Fellow vet vs medic, but if a client came back to me and said they weren’t happy with their referral and wanted a second opinion, I wouldn’t be offended and would gladly refer them elsewhere.
