Ethics of evidence based veterinary medicine
People: Madeleine Campbell, David Mills, Adrian Boswood
Evidence based veterinary medicine (EBVM) has the potential to make a significant contribution to improvements in veterinary and human health. However, unless they are addressed, hitherto under-explored ethical and societal dimensions to EBVM will limit this contribution. Madeleine Campbell and David Mills are working to elucidate such ethical and societal issues, and propose possible solutions to them.
