Ep 44 - Dr Elizabeth Ormerod: Bond-Centred Practice and Community Outreach, pt2/2. - The Anthrozoology Podcast | Lyssna här

In this follow‑up episode, veterinary surgeon Dr Elizabeth Ormerod BVMS, Chair of the Society for Companion Animal Studies (SCAS), returns to explore two additional pillars of her four‑decade career: campaigning for companion-animal‑inclusive housing and creating one of the UK’s first companion-animal‑loss support programmes within general practice.Dr Ormerod explains how grass‑roots advocacy in Fleetwood challenged local “no‑pets” policies and sparked a wider conversation about companion animals in social housing, eventually leading to national debate. We also look at her bond‑centred approach to end‑of‑life care, growth charts, early behaviour counselling, and multidisciplinary bereavement teams designed to support both clients and veterinary staff.Along the way Dr Ormerod discusses strategies for preventing compassion fatigue, the importance of community networks, and why affordable, flexible payment schemes remain crucial as corporate vet ownership expands.
