The profession and its public

Abstract

Extract

As we enter the 1980's, whilst our thoughts must be mainly projected toward the future, a few recollections of the progress of the veterinary profession during the 1970's should not go amiss. Perhaps, on a year-to-year basis, little seemed to change. The same things happened at the same time every year. To compare 1970 with 1980, however, provides a clearer picture of what has happened within the profession and the difficulties we now face, particularly in rural practice.
