Developing Frameworks for Implementation of Preventive Medicine Practices in Production Animal Settings

在生产动物的企业中使用预防性医学做法，如生物安全措施和疫苗接种，具有许多好处，如减少疾病发病率和抗菌剂的使用，并提高经济生产力（1,2）。据报道，在人类和兽医临床实践中，预防医学实践的实施存在问题（3,4）。在其他领域使用了一些方法来协助实施预防框架，以便确定“瓶颈”和随后的克服这些瓶颈的战略。这可以为类似的基于兽医的策略的发展提供一个有用的平台。该项目的目的是在生产动物企业中使用新的预防药物实施方法，并制定一个定制的兽医特定框架，以便将来在一系列其他动物或“一种健康”方案中使用和部署。这一目标将通过与农民、兽医、行业代表和健康心理学家合作，采用跨学科的混合方法来实现。该职位将包括案头和现场两部分，与农民和兽医组成的小组合作，制定干预措施和评估框架。将采用一系列数据收集方法和分析，包括定性和定量方法。候选人将在诺丁汉大学兽医与科学学院工作，并将与那里和医学院的同事一起工作。兽医与科学学院（SVMS）在伴侣动物和牲畜健康与生产的许多关键方面进行研究。学院进行的研究与兽医和科学以及比较和人类医学相关，并与大学已建立的世界级生物医学科学研究相结合。

The use of preventive medicine practices in production animal enterprises, such as biosecurity measures and vaccination, has a number of benefits such as reduction of disease incidence and antimicrobial usage, and increased economic productivity (1,2). There have been issues reported with the implementation of preventive medicine practices in both human and veterinary clinical practice (3,4). There are a number of approaches used in other fields to assist with the implementation of prevention frameworks, in order to identify 'bottlenecks' and subsequent strategies to overcome them. This could provide a useful platform for the development of similar veterinary-based strategies. The aim of this project is to use novel approaches for preventive medicine implementation in production animal enterprises and to develop a bespoke veterinary-specific framework for future use and deployment in a range of other animal or One Health scenarios. This aim will be achieved by using a cross-disciplinary mixed-methods approach working in partnership with farmers, veterinarians, industry representatives and health psychologists. The role will involve both desk-based and field-based components, working with small teams of farmers and veterinarians to develop interventions and evaluation frameworks. A range of data collection methods and analysis will be employed, including both qualitative and quantitative approaches. The candidate will be based at the School of Veterinary Medicine and Science at the University of Nottingham and will work with colleagues there and in the School of Medicine. The School of Veterinary Medicine and Science (SVMS) undertakes research on many key aspects of companion animals and livestock health and production. Research undertaken at the School is relevant to both Veterinary Medicine and Science and Comparative and Human Medicine and is integrated within the University's established world class research in biomedical sciences.
