Topic: Association of Government Veterinarians

Chief Veterinary Officer Christine Middlemiss is urging veterinary surgeons employed in government roles and private vets undertaking government work (OVs) to take part in a wellbeing survey being conducted by the Association of Government Veterinarians.

The aim of the survey, which closes on 16th June, is to recognise and help raise awareness of the multiple challenges faced by veterinary surgeons undertaking roles for Government as a distinct subset of the veterinary profession.

The Association of Government Veterinarians says that following the survey, it'll be producing a report which identifies issues which affect government vets' wellbeing, identifies existing tools to promote wellbeing within Government and considers developing new ones if necessary. It will also consider best practice and any gaps in the wellbeing services currently available that vets in Government roles would benefit from.
