Talking about our feelings may still seem a bit fluffy to many of us in the equine veterinary profession but did you know it can improve patient safety as well as team cohesion and retention? Sarah Emptage from Bell Equine shares how they conduct "wellbeing rounds", what these are and how to set them up as well as the beneficial effects that running them has had on the team. With a growing evidence base in the medical profession to support these sorts of discussions listen in to hear how you can implement them within your practice.

Following on from the publication of BEVA's Schedule 3 guidelines in 2023, Marie and the BEVA Nurse Committee have been working hard with Jim Green at BARTA to understand the role of the equine RVN in emergency rescue situations. The new guidelines being published jointly by BEVA and BARTA aim to highlight the role of the RVN during these high stress and challenging situations to further improve animal welfare, client communication and team work with other professionals. It is hoped that these guidelines will help to empower RVNs to utilise their skills and develop new and rewarding roles within the equine veterinary profession.

Monday Apr 07, 2025
The Back in the Saddle group career coaching scheme was launched in 2024 and received overwhelmingly positive feedback from its first cohort. We invited coachee, Vicky Jux, to share her experience of being part of this initiative, which is free to member and open to vets and nurses who are over 5 years qualified. The impact of this coaching on those involved is seemingly more far-reaching than anyone expected!
Applications are open until Wednesday 21 May for our second cohort, apply today! https://form.asana.com/?k=YgbV0AP4QenGbWwdtIpXcQ&d=11947487954206

BEVApod Life: From Hong Kong to The Gambia.. give it a go with Hamish Leslie
Thursday Feb 06, 2025
Thursday Feb 06, 2025
Hamish is clearly not afraid to challenge his expectations, nor take a punt on an opportunity when it arises... but he's made sure he realises the advantages whilst accepting the challenges and has seen all walks of equine veterinary life, from multi-million pound racehorses to working equids. Far from narrowing down his career choices, this has driven him to maintain the spread of opportunities in front of him and to never pass an open door without at least looking in.
