Vet Times Podcast

Life as a farm vet can be challenging, invigorating and ultimately very satisfying, with good communication extremely important. Owen Atkinson, a farm vet and consultant, rejoins the podcast to offer insight into communicating with farm clients – and explains the magic question game (see his article, Coaching skills for farm vets, at https://bit.ly/3y7kqMu). Owen Atkinson is a farm vet and worked in practice for more than 20 years before establishing Dairy Veterinary Consultancy in 2013. He provides advice and training for all types of dairy and veterinary businesses. He has a passion for farmer-vet communications and leading effective change. He has developed his expertise in coaching and facilitation, undertaking a postgraduate diploma through Aberysthwyth University, and enjoys working with people and teams just as much as with cows and calves.
