A Vet's Life
Farm vet Sid Parker is retiring, after 37 years in the same practice. Caz Graham goes out on one his final rounds with him, to learn about the highs and lows of life as a vet.
It's rare nowadays to stay in the same job for your whole career, but that's exactly what farm vet Sid Parker has done. This year he retires, after thirty-seven years in the same veterinary practice in Derbyshire. In this programme he takes Caz Graham out on his one of his final rounds with him. He reminisces about the highs and lows of life as a rural vet, explains what he has loved about his work, and - looking back over his decades-long career - ponders on how the job of a farm vet has changed since he started out as a newly-qualified young vet back in 1982.
