Flynn’s Talk | Ep 33 - Dr Nigel Clayton, a life in veterinary medicine

A note, in this episode we discuss mental health, burnout and suicide - in particular between 20:00 to 25:00, if you wish to skip that section.

Dr Nigel Clayton practiced veterinary medicine for 50 years, beginning his career in the UK before moving his family to Australia in the 1960s, where he played a pivotal role in establishing the first Animal Emergency Centre, which in turn reformed the way after hours care was provided. He led the way on many new ways of practicing, always with a focus on prioritising care for his staff.

 

This year we are proudly supported by Covetrus Global Technology Services who are helping us to spread our message - and your stories - to more people in the veterinary and non-veterinary sectors.
