Plus UBER have one of the most insecure apps available.

Since I opened an account (for emergencies) there has been a constant stream of 'someone has attempted to change your password' messages.

Have closed the account!

The link that needs to be made is the one mentioned by the FCA chap, that regulation needs to adapt to innovation. Uber only occurred because the black cabs didn't adapt the technology of apps to call a cab. Except that isn't quite right. Uber also worked by undercutting the prices, being able to do so using questionable structures. (prepared to be corrected, never used it, don't live in a city)

RCVS needs to ensure that any innovation is neither circumventing the normal law of the country nor affecting animals health and welfare. TO do that means adopting some of it. The how we do that is a question I can't answer.

Presumably RCVS will notice this when the cost of travel in London goes up again.

Do you think they'll make the link to Innovative Technologies being a good thing or a bad thing depending on your point of view?

Uber was quoted during the day as an example of a company using innovation. We were told it was illegal when it started and it is interesting to see TfL rescind its licence.

BBC website: "Uber app has completely changed the London minicab and taxi market. As a "disruptive" technology it was popular and cheap. But although Uber claims 3.5m Londoners use the app and there are 40,000 drivers - the company has been dogged with controversy in the capital. It has been blamed for congestion, failing to report sexual offences and not doing proper security checks on drivers and a rise in collisions. It has also been criticised by unions for poor working conditions of drivers. So this is a big shock to the industry and it will reverberate right around the world where Uber is trying to operate."

Sadiq Khan: I want London to be at the forefront of innovation and new technology and to be a natural home for exciting new companies that help Londoners by providing a better and more affordable service. However, all companies in London must play by the rules and adhere to the high standards we expect - particularly when it comes to the safety of customers. Providing an innovative service must not be at the expense of customer safety and security. I fully support TfL's decision - it would be wrong if TfL continued to license Uber if there is any way that this could pose a threat to Londoners' safety and security. Any operator of private hire services in London needs to play by the rules.

Well, we can fix that right now and here, because there are plenty of people Out There who have already worked on this and have the first answers. The RSA is an organisation, much older than RCVS which has talking about this stuff for years.

A great speaker on this subject is Dan Pink talking about persuasion in respect of selling, but his ideas about the shift in professional peoples' role to that of knowledge "curation" - more management speak - is sound in my view.

Try this

"....These technologies could have a disruptive effect on the veterinary sector, so it’s important to encourage and support veterinary input at an early stage to enable the professions to shape their development and ensure that animal health and welfare is a foremost consideration...."

Couple of points here. That word "disruptive" first. In a commercial environment why would new technologies be "disruptive", if they are chargeable?

File under pointless awards designed to assuage the great and good mandarins of our profession. The number of academics or veterinary politicians in receipt of these will be interesting to see.

Second point, I would humbly suggest that the largest technological change that has ever happened in veterinary practice happened in the late 80s/early90s and that was computerisatio. We managed that didn't we?

Well it unfortunately got directed at the lady who can provide remote cardiology. The kit is used by you/nurse and she diagnoses. Bit unfair as she was one of those who didn't say anything suggesting practice needed improving. Others felt they were more complementary to practice.

he would be a clear winner as far as impact goes.

This looks like a difficult one to me, because I'm not clear how to measure an impact

[/quote]

It's not so easy. You can calculate the energy of a moving object at the moment it strikes a target quite easily, and you can measure things like the acceleration imparted to the target, or how much the target deforms, and how far the object bounces back, and whether it emits magic rays.

Then my brain begins to hurt.

I was at the Innovation symposium yesterday. Too much of companies extolling themselves, not enough of the wow of how innovation will improve animal health and welfare. The chap from the FCA had 25 minutes; the chap who has developed a whole-genome sequencer that lies in your hand, got 5.

It was frustrating to hear so many of the presenters mention that practice needs improving, or was a poor experience. I raised this in a question.
