Battling Burnout with Vetoquinol

About the webinars

Mental health is a crisis right now in the veterinary industry, with UK vets said to be three to four times more likely to die by suicide than the general population. The pandemic has only worsened feelings of burnout and pushed many vets to a near-breaking point. Therefore, Vetoquinol wants to provide vets with a small time out to alleviate some of the day-to-day mental strain placed on them. Through a three-part webinar series, the audience will experience; a keynote and Q&A session with Professor Matthew Walker (author of international bestseller ‘Why We Sleep), a hypnotherapy session with Clinical Hypnotist Tim Smale, and a guided meditation and Q&A with founder of Beeja Meditation, Will Williams.

Learning Objectives

  • Provide veterinary professionals with a window of time to focus on their wellbeing

  • Share practical advice and techniques for battling burnout and workplace stress

  • Show veterinary professionals new and unique ways of unwinding and improving their mental health

  • Highlight that Vetoquinol cares for the wellbeing of the veterinary community, and is conscious of the current challenges they face
