#2/16 Talking to A Yorkshire Vet
In this episode Susan talks to Julian Norton who is one of the vets featured in The Yorkshire Vet television programme on Channel five. This popular series is currently into its tenth series airing weekly on Tuesday evenings. The filming of series eleven has unfortunately been halted temporarily due to the coronovirus pandemic.
In this episode Julian talks about his new book A Yorkshire Vet - The Next Chapter, which documents his move from his old practice in Thirsk to his present employment in Boroughbridge. The move made him feel like a graduate again, having to familiarise himself with not only the workings of a new practice but also having to learn the whereabouts of farms and clients. This challenge was sometimes in the dead of night, with the often unreliable satellite navigation suffered in areas of the dales.
