Our theme for January & February Physical Health & Energy Management

Veterinary professionals give so much of themselves every day—physically, mentally and emotionally. Long shifts, demanding caseloads and constant decision-making can leave even the most passionate teams feeling depleted. Our January–February wellbeing theme focuses on supporting physical health and managing energy sustainably, helping you feel stronger, more balanced and better equipped for the realities of life in practice. We’re proud to be supported by VetYogi, who share evidence-based, realistic wellbeing tools created by veterinary professionals, for veterinary professionals—designed not just to help you cope, but to truly thrive.
