Welfare catastrophes: what do you do?

Anyone working in clinical practice will on occasion be faced with a serious welfare case. In this lecture we will explore the simple practical steps that can be taken to prevent a welfare challenge escalating to a welfare catastrophe. Through case studies we will explore common areas of concern to practice teams when dealing with welfare cases including client confidentiality, GDPR and how to support vulnerable clients in crisis.We will also explore how techniques borrowed from cutting edge forensic science when combined with high quality veterinary medicine can be used by us all to bring the worst animal abusers to justice.
