Pam also advised regular clinical discussion meetings, significant event reviews, communication of information learned at CPD meetings and on drawing up practice protocols and guidelines following team discussions. Now that there is a requirement for clinical governance to form part of all vets and RVNs professional activities is in the Code of Conduct, this has become even more relevant for the whole practice team.

With sufficient commitment and enthusiasm, we can further integrate EVM into the fabric of our profession, to the benefit of veterinarians and clients as well as patients Lunch 30 October Church House Conference Centre Westminster 3 P a g e

He is a co-author of a Cochrane style analysis of RCTs in canine atopic dermatitis. Much is made of the high value evidence that resides within reviews of randomised controlled trials in human medicine. While it is relatively early days for veterinary reviews of RCTs, as more of them emerge veterinary clinicians and authors need to be aware of their roles and responsibilities when reading and preparing these large documents. Good quality reviews can inform new research and help vets and owners to make informed decisions about treatment choices for their pet. Dr Wendela Wapenaar MRCVS Clinical Lecturer in Farm Animal Medicine and Epidemiology, School of Veterinary Medicine and Science, University of Nottingham Wendela Wapenaar graduated as a farm animal veterinarian in Utrecht, The Netherlands. After a few months working in mixed practice in The Netherlands she moved to the Waikato in New Zealand to focus on dairy cattle work. After 2 years thoroughly enjoying New Zealand, a new challenge appeared and she moved to Prince Edward Island on the Canadian East Coast where she completed a residency in Ruminant Farm Animal Medicine. At the same university she completed her PhD in Veterinary Epidemiology. Her research topic was the epidemiology of Neospora caninum in dairy cattle and wildlife on Prince Edward Island. After almost 4 years in Canada, she moved to the UK, where she worked briefly in farm animal practice before starting at the School of Veterinary Medicine and Science in Nottingham as Clinical Lecturer in Farm Animal Medicine and Epidemiology. She is a Diplomate of the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners (Dairy Specialty) and now divides her time between research and teaching. Evidence based medicine and the effective transfer of knowledge gained from research to stakeholders within the farm animal sector are areas of interest, particularly when related to bovine reproduction, biosecurity and infectious disease control Tea / Coffee Break 30 October Church House Conference Centre Westminster 5 P a g e

8 Background The modern Evidence-based Medicine (EBM) approach to clinical care has been revolutionizing patient care in human medicine and policy for the last four decades, and has been thoroughly embraced by politicians and the wider public, even though animated debate about its usefulness is still occurring within the medical profession. The Cochrane Collaboration, a depositary of systematic reviews which support the foundations on which EBM has so far relied, has been growing in size, significance and number of published records. A similar veterinary database has been more challenging to set up, due to the particularities of veterinary medicine and also to the wide number of species that veterinary medicine oversees. The RCVS Charitable Trust, recognizing its mission in helping vets and vet nurses to provide the best possible care for animals, is supporting this symposium with a view to Objectives Provide a forum for debate where opinions on the clinical potential and the caveats of Evidence-based Veterinary Medicine (EVM) can be voiced Provide information on EVM, namely on the current status of its implementation in the veterinary profession and its future implications in veterinary practice and clinical governance To share and discuss lessons learned by the establishment of EVM principles in the human medicine field To encourage the setting of a forward-looking strategy to implement EVM practices across the profession To discuss EVM training needs for veterinary undergraduates and practitioners To help identify the important real-life clinical questions Outcomes Setting a forward looking strategy for the establishment of a collaboration to foster EVM in the UK Prioritising which actions to take in order to encourage a proactive approach in the profession towards the development of evidence-based resources Consider possible sources of support administrative and financial for EVM initiatives in the UK Establishment of forums and communication channels between those interested in EVM and clinical governance i.e. plans for continuing communication 30 October Church House Conference Centre Westminster 8 P a g e
