| 6/18/26 | ![]() 161: Tech Tools for Vets 4: Heidi - AI Scribe, Voice Agents And Clinical Decision Support For Vets. With Dr Kieran McLeod | You've been using your veterinary AI note taker for a couple of years now - it’s great - saves you heaps of time. But are you using it to its full potential?I’ll take a bet that you’re not. These things move fast, and it’s hard to keep up. Which is why, in our Tech for Vets Series, we pull apart the veterinary tools that are changing how we work, and this time we put Heidi up on our screens for a detailed walk through. Our guide is Dr Kieran McLeod, head of medical knowledge at Heidi Health. We start by putting the scribe through its paces to find the workflow tricks that you’re probably missing - I walked away with at least five tricks I'd never used. Then Kieran shows off all the shiny new AI magic coming your way: voice agents, built-in clinical support and a hardware solution that lets you leave your phone in your bag. You'll learn:The scribe features you're almost certainly ignoring - linked patients, the context window, smart dictation, and the one-click voice edits that mean you never type a note correction againThe AI voice agent that makes the phone call you've been dreading What baked-in clinical decision support looks likeHow to safety-net the worry that keeps you up - that quiet "did I miss something?" feelingHow to incorporate hands-free hardware into your workflowThis is a screen-share walkthrough, so head to Spotify if you want to watch the clicks rather than just hear us talk about them.Show notes and details live at thevetvault.comGet clinical support from human specialists at the Vet Vault Specialist Support SpaceGet rid of your mid-year 'meh' at our Vets On Tour New Zealand snow conferenceTopics and Timestamps02:35 Intro: Beyond the scribe005:18 Human-first vs. vet-first: does it matter?09:17 Note-taking basics09:46 Context windows & linked patients15:46 Multiple documents & the source of truth18:49 Smart Dictation for quick edits29:38 Sync changes across documents33:10 Task lists36:06 Collaboration & session sharing40:07 Sharing & exporting documents41:22 Heidi Comms: AI voice agents53:46 Heidi Evidence: clinical decision support01:04:50 Using Evidence for complex histories01:09:11 Evidence sources & collections01:14:01 Heidi Remote: the hardware mic01:21:46 EMR integrations (ezyVet & Covetrus) | — | ||||||

| 11/13/25 | ![]() 149: AI Radiology for Vets: How Accurate Are Todays Tools Really? With Dr Steve Joslyn | We scrutinise one of the most practical yet under‑examined advances in veterinary practice: AI‑based radiology interpretation tools. I sit down with veterinary radiologist and Vedi entrepreneur Dr Steve Joslyn to unpack the rise of AI-powered radiology tools in general practice. But this isn’t just opinion: Steve reveals the findings from his team’s recent study that put 6 commercially available AI radiology softwares in the spotlight - or up on the light box - to assess whether they deliver on what they promise. From how these systems are trained, to where they shine (and where they fail), this conversation gives a no-nonsense look at what AI can actually do for your diagnostic imaging workflow. What You’ll Learn:How these tools are built: Neural networks, down-sampling, and the truth behind “ground truth”.The data dilemma: Why most AI tools perform best in theory, not in general practice.Where they fall short: From image quality issues to breed bias and external validation gaps.New accuracy data: Insights from Dr Joslyn’s pilot study comparing six commercial AI tools.A decision-making playbook: When to trust AI, when to double-check, and when to avoid it entirely.Ethics and workflow impact: Who’s responsible? What do you tell clients? Can AI triage be trusted?How to stay future-ready: What’s coming next – and how to adapt without compromising care.🎧 Listen now for the tools to ask better questions about AI in your clinic.Find out how we can help you build you in your vet career at thevetvault.com.Check out our Advanced Surgery Podcast at cutabove.supercast.com.

| 11/4/25 | ![]() 🔓Your Game Plan for Brachycephalic Anaesthesia: Tips, Drugs, and Red Flags. With Dr Abbie Tipler | Did you know that a brachycephalic dog with BOAS has a 433% higher anaesthetic risk than a dog with a normal nose? Let me rephrase that: that Frenchie you’re spaying later this week is more than four times more likely to die on her surgery day than any of your other patients. 😳Do we have your attention?!Thanks mainly to the rising popularity of the French Bulldog, you’re probably anaesthetising these kinds of patients all the time.So how do we reduce that risk? How do improve patient safety while decreeing your stress levels?!At the Brachycephalic Care Unit, surgeon Dr Abbie Tipler and her team have polished brachycephalic anaesthesia down to a fine art, and in this episode, she shares all the gold.From the days leading up to anaesthesia to selecting the safest mix of premed and anaesthesia agents, all the way to a calm, well-oxygenated recovery, this episode is the ultimate masterclass in brachycephalic anaesthesia.Hit us up for the full show notes for this episode, as well as Dr Abbie’s brachycephalic pre-surgery history template, here.

| 10/15/25 | ![]() 148: Is the Veterinary Business Model Failing Our Patients? A Frontline Perspective From a Top UK Charity. With Dr Paul Manktelow | “If you can’t afford a pet, you shouldn’t own one.” Ever said this line?Once you’ve been on the receiving of someone’s anger about the cost of their vet bill, it’s an easy thought to have. But it’s not the whole story, is it?In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Paul Manktelow - a veterinary surgeon with 20+ years in UK animal charities and current Director of Veterinary Services at Blue Cross. Dr Paul shares lessons learned in not-for-profit vet care to help us untangle that tension between care, compassion, and commercial reality.We cover:Trends from the front lines in the charity sector How “affordability” is shifting under rising cost of livingDecision-making tools that balance optimal vs achievable careBusiness models that either enable or block access to careHow vets can approach financial conversations with clarity, dignity, and trustYou’ll learn about:💡 “Pragmatic care” as the antidote to chasing the mythical ‘gold standard’💡 Cost-based vs value-based pricing models 💡How to think in tiers of care—and where the limits lieBecause behind every clinical decision is a human one.Find out how we can help you build you in your vet career at thevetvault.com.Check out our Advanced Surgery Podcast at cutabove.supercast.com.

With Rohan Relan | In episode 141, I shared my take on where AI fits into veterinary medicine - and where it might take us next.

| 9/8/25 | ![]() PIMA: The Anaemia That You Didn’t Know About, But Really Should. With Dr Cynthia Lucidi and Dr Claire Sharp. Bonus - Live at IVECCS | Today’s bonus IVECCS live session wasn’t your average ‘clinical 101’. I had the absolute privilege of getting two brilliant minds on the yellow couch, and … wow. Apparently 1 + 1 = 🤯 !!Clinical pathogist Dr Cynthia Lucidi joined me to unpack her talk on Diagnosing Ineffective Hematopoiesis. If you’re a bit lost with that title - don’t worry, so was I! So I brought backup: ECC legend Dr Claire Sharp joined me to ask the smart questions, and together, they cracked open a topic every GP and ECC vet needs to understand: PIMA – Precursor-Targeted Immune-Mediated Anaemia. (If you’ve ever managed an anaemia case that almost looked like IMHA but just didn’t quite fit, or just an anaemia that didn’t want to fit into ANY of the boxes, it was probably this!) This one started out GP-friendly, but with two minds like these-it escalated fast. Expect specialist-level gold. You’ll want to give this one your full attention. But I promise - it’s worth it!What we cover:Defining ineffective haematopoiesis and how it differs from hypoplasiaDiagnostic criteria and differentials for PIMA vs. IMHAImportance of timing and interpretation in persistent non-regenerative anaemiaWhy bone marrow aspiration is underused and how to perform it effectivelyPathologist tips on identifying spherocytes and phagocytosis artefactsChallenges of diagnosing IMHA and PIMA in catsRole of transfusions and crossmatching in long-term PIMA managementTimeframes for response and remission in PIMA treatmentWhen to consider splenectomy for refractory casesClinical significance of myelofibrosis in dogs with PIMAEducating clients and general practitioners on prognosis and referral timingClick here to access all of our clinical content at IVECCS special rates. | — | ||||||

With Dr Annie Wayne | Ever had a case where you just knew what was wrong before you even touched the patient - but if someone asked you HOW you know, you couldn’t explain it? That almost mystical “sixth sense” we develop in practice - that’s exactly what this episode is about. Our guest is Dr Annie Wayne - a criticalist, educator, and learning strategist—who’s been exploring naturalistic decision making: the cognitive model that explains how experts think in real-time, and how to pass that intuition on.We talk about what separates expert intuition from novice reasoning, how to break down unconscious diagnostic processes, and how the right kind of mentorship can accelerate the path to expertise. Annie also shares her research on parenting and vet careers, challenging the stigma around pregnancy and parenthood during training.Here’s what you’ll learn:What “naturalistic decision making” really means (and why it feels like a sixth sense)How experienced vets spot subtle signs that others missHow to externalise your gut feeling so younger vets can learn from itReal-world strategies for mentorship and better clinical teachingHow to avoid the traps of lazy “shortcut” thinkingHow this framework builds confidence and reduces stress in new gradsAnnie’s personal take on parenting through training—and how to smash the stigma around pregnancy in vet careersThis isn’t just about clinical decision-making - it’s about how we teach, how we lead, and how we support each other in a demanding profession.Lift your clinical game with our RACE approved clinical podcasts at vvn.supercast.com for more clinical confidence and better patient outcomes, or check out our Advanced Surgery Podcast at cutabove.supercast.com.

But have you ever considered the role of the software that you use in how frazzled you feel at the end of the day?And beyond the pure frustration of ‘too many clicks’ and that spinning wheel of doom when you have ten other things to do - have you considered how the very software that feels like it's holding you back could actually help solve some of the systemic challenges that feel like they’re just baked into the vet profession, like low clinical confidence, medical errors, and even burnout?In this conversation, we speak to emergency vet and tech entrepreneur Dr Caleb Frankel , founder of Instinct Science, about what’s broken in vet tech, what good software should actually do, and why the future of practice might depend on getting this right.In this episode:Why building good vet software is so damn hard (and how to spot the tools worth your trust)What to look for (and avoid!) when choosing new software for your clinicReducing the trauma of introducing a new tech tool to the team (yes, even the dreaded PIMS change!)How software design impacts clinical confidence, patient safety, and mental health AI in clinical decision-making - why it’s more than just a productivity tool Must-have tech tools for 2025 (that aren’t just another app) If you’ve ever felt like your tools are working against you, this is the conversation that might just change the way you practice—for good.Lift your clinical game with our RACE approved clinical podcasts at vvn.supercast.com for more clinical confidence and better patient outcomes, or check out our Advanced Surgery Podcast at cutabove.supercast.com.

| 6/20/25 | ![]() Sneak Peek: Our New Podcast for Practice Owners. With Dr Sam Bowden | 🎙️ Introducing the Veterinary Business Accelerator, our new podcast for veterinary practice owners who want more than just survival - they want to own the practice they dreamed of when they first decided to start a practice - a place that gives them joy and freedom, and where other vets like to work. In this brand-new series, vet business coach, author, and former Vet Vault guest Dr. Sam Bowden shares the mindset, strategies, and systems he’s used to help hundreds of practice owners transform their clinics into what he calls “abundant practices” - workplaces that are profitable, sustainable, and deeply rewarding.In Episode 1: Why Even Start a Vet Practice?, we ask the question: Wouldn’t it be easier to just get a job? When you’re in the thick of it all, it feels that way, doesn’t it?Especially when you’re knee-deep in payroll, staff issues, client complaints, and wondering if you’ll ever take a proper holiday again.In this kickoff episode we start with the question every practice owner should revisit regularly: Why are you in business?Dr Sam Bowden breaks down why most owners start with good intentions: better medicine, a better team, better money - but end up overworked, underpaid, and out of joy. And why the fix begins with something deceptively simple: clarity on that why.Sam outlines his framework for what he calls an “abundant practice” - the five pillars that any vet business needs to get right if it’s going to support the life you want. And yes, that includes permission to take a holiday.What You’ll Learn:The real reasons vets start practices (hint: it’s not just the money)Why good intentions often lead to overwhelmThe 5 pillars of Sam’s Abundant Practice Model: time, team, clients, finances, fulfillmentHow a low financial drive hurts the profession—and your personal lifeCommon mindset traps (and how to replace guilt with growth)The power of shifting from “either/or” to “yes/and” thinkingWhy clarity is the foundation for fun, freedom, and financial successIf this episode was made just for you, and you’d like to hear more, you can find our other episodes here. | — | ||||||

With Dr Shadi Ireifej | Telemedicine.What’s your gut reaction when you hear that term?Maybe you think it was just a clever COVID workaround, or second-rate substitute for a “real” vet visit. Or maybe you’re a bit curious about what it’s like to work in telemedicine— but you’re worried it’ll be boring. Or worse: that you’ll spend your days diagnosing lizards over Zoom.Whatever you think— chances are, you’re wrong. But don’t worry. This episode will change that. We go deep on the real-world pros and cons of telemedicine, from two key angles: For curious vets:What’s it really like to work in telemedicine?Is it fulfilling?How will I cope with all the tricky questions (and species?!)Is the pay good?Can you get into trouble for giving remote advice?For clinic owners:How do you integrate telemedicine into your practice?What are the practical hurdles?What’s worked (and what hasn’t) from someone who’s built a global platform from scratch? Our guest is Dr. Shadi Ireifej, a board-certified surgeon, tech entrepreneur, and co-founder of VetTriage, a global teletriage platform.This one made me rethink what “good vet work” really means. I think it’ll do the same for you.Join us on the slopes of New Zealand for our winter CPD adventure with Vets On Tour Wānaka 25.
