For the final podcast of the year, we have managed to have a few consecutive ones, hopefully a good omen for the New Year. We are delighted to have Professor Ken Smith, Head of the Department of Pathobiology and Population Sciences here at the RVC. He is Professor of companion animal pathology and could speak about a great many things from Tasmanian devil facial tumour disease to theatre. Though we thought we’d ask Ken more about what anatomical pathologists do for us, and also how we can help them in achieving that. We hope that you enjoy and Happy New Year.
