Today we are delighted to have Dr Dan O’Neill joining Brian and myself in our remote studio. Dan is Senior Lecturer in Companion Animal Epidemiology here at the RVC and leader of the VetCompass Programme. Dan eloquently describes his story. After twenty-two years in general practice wanting to find evidence for treating or informing clients on the common conditions that he saw, he took a leap to find those answers. After leaving the keys to his practice as he left one Saturday, he started a Master’s in veterinary epidemiology the following Monday. A PhD followed and he has stayed true to his word to find answers to those problems and with just under 100 papers published so far, he shows no signs of slowing down. A delight to speak to and be in his company, we hope that you enjoy the podcast as much as we did recording it.  To find out more about Dan use the following link: https://www.rvc.ac.uk/about/our-people/dan-o-neill For more about VetCompass: https://www.rvc.ac.uk/vetcompass   Here are some links to some of Dan’s papers: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31660657/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32661183/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33325082/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31037739/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32751913/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33128852/ To Cite this podcast as: Dom Barfield.
