How can practitioners make a greater contribution to clinical research? How can research findings be transferred more effectively into practice? And how can practitioners improve their research understanding to support current demands for clinical audit and evidence-based veterinary medicine? These were just some of the questions posed at a day-long seminar held at the RCVS headquarters in London on September 20. The key aim of the seminar, entitled ‘Research into practice … practice into research …’, was to explore, in both directions, the boundary between clinical research and veterinary practice.
