This week on Veterinary Ramblings, Mike Brampton and Julian Hoad are joined by Dr. Paula Boyden, newly appointed Fellow and leading voice on animal and human welfare. The discussion focuses on the Links Group, a registered charity highlighting the link between animal abuse and domestic abuse, and the difficult, often emotional cases vets may face. Paula shares key statistics, guidance on recognising non-accidental injury, professional responsibilities around reporting concerns, and the ARD framework (Ask, Reassure, Document, Report/Refer). The episode also touches on current legislative gaps in animal cruelty laws and available training resources, before ending on a lighter note with “60 Second CPD”, a quick lesson on taking a narrowboat through a lock.
