Veterinary wellbeing
The veterinary profession can provide a very rewarding but highly stressful work environment. A number of initiatives have been developed to support the profession, including Vetlife.
Dr Rachel Dean has been working with a number of colleagues within the profession (notably Dr Richard Mellanby and Professor Richard Halliwell) to understand some of the challenges vets face in their working life.
Recent collaborations have also been formed with occupation psychology and clinical psychiatry, to look at specific work-related stressors that affect veterinary surgeons.
