WellVet is hosting a series of free “Winter Wellbeing” online events to help veterinary professionals tackle the season blues.
The series, starting tonight (19 November) with a Facebook Live event at 8pm, is in partnership with Boehringer Ingelheim and Vet Times.
Each will cover a range of subjects to boost morale as winter draws near, positively influence well-being and reduce the impact of seasonal affective disorder (SAD).
They also plan to demonstrate how to support employees and colleagues to ensure work is sustainable, productive and enjoyable, and provide mechanisms for making working life more positive.
The series will feature 30-minute presentations by leading well-being professionals, including sports psychiatrist Claire Gillvray, human factors specialist Dan Tipney and occupational psychologist Elinor O’Connor.
The full list of sessions is:

This programme of events is designed to answer specific challenges we’re experiencing – now more than ever in veterinary teams – and to bring us together for a bit of festive cheer.”
Emma McAnally, territory manager at Boehringer Ingelheim, said: “We are delighted to join forces with Vet Times to support the WellVet Winter Wellbeing series to help improve well-being both in the work and home environments.”
