Professionalism

Photos & videos

  • Taking photos and videos is potentially a very sensitive issue and should be handled with extreme care and consideration
  • Never take photos of potentially sensitive material, e.g. welfare cases
  • Consider what the implications of these photos getting into the public domain would be
  • If it is appropriate to take a photo, you should ask permission from both the vet and the owner of the animal
  • Carefully consider what they gave you permission to do with the photo e.g. you can put it in your casebook or portfolio, but not use it for other purposes
