16.01.2022 Knowing that veterinary teams excel with many different dynamics and cultures we asked Margie McEwen from Vetprac to share her views on culture in veterinary practices. Not surprisingly - it's a tricky one to define succinctly however Margie has shared her thoughts on a practical place to start and it's much more simple than appointing a HR manager. Culture is not an HR thing. Read the full article here: https://independentvetsofaustralia.com.au/culture-is-not-a/

07.01.2022 We recently asked consultant Victoria Koks from Provet / Crampton Consulting Group to share her thoughts on culture in veterinary practice. Victoria highlighted the connection between the stress that can develop within individuals in practice due to specific events though also and less obviously those longer-term stressors such as workload, lack of support, fearfulness or colleagues, financial worries, health concerns and other personal circumstances. As such Victoria has shared how focusing on a culture of wellness in practice can help combat stress whilst promoting a positive workplace environment. What is a culture of wellness? How can veterinary leaders take steps to develop a culture of wellness? View the full article here: https://independentvetsofaustralia.com.au/strategies-to-de/

03.01.2022 R U OK? Remember to check in with your family, friends and work colleagues this week. As a profession, vets suffer the highest rate of suicide and have many demands on their time and energy. Many factors can contribute to the stress experienced by veterinary staff. Some of these include;dealing with distressed pets and clients, performing euthanasia, financial pressures and unrealistic expectations, just to name a few. Keep this in mind if someone appears to not be themselves and be sure to check in with your vets and vet nurses this week also. #RUOK? https://www.ruok.org.au/
