Description
This VETChat episode is part of our series on supporting and empowering women in veterinary, hosted by Kathryn Bell. This is the first episode in our series for Menopause Awareness Week 2023. Joining Kathryn today are Charlotte Pace, Senior Vice-President of the BVNA and Lyndsay Hughes, BVNA President.
In this episode, we discuss the importance of raising awareness about menopause in the veterinary profession. Representatives from the British Veterinary Nursing Association (BVNA) share recent initiatives, real-life challenges faced by veterinary professionals, and success stories in adapting veterinary practices. We explore strategies for managing menopause symptoms, fostering open communication within teams, and available resources for education. Discover how veterinary organisations can create more inclusive workplaces, and gain insights into self-assessment tools. Finally, we envision a future of greater empathy and support for menopausal veterinary professionals, both from the BVNA and across the veterinary field. Join us on this journey towards a more compassionate and inclusive veterinary practice.
