Opening times: 10.00-15.15

Venue: Online

Details

The Mind Matters Initiative recently carried out a survey which invited student and newly-qualified veterinary nurses to answer questions about their mental wellbeing.

The results of the survey will be used to inform the future work of MMI and to tailor specific mental health and wellbeing support projects for the profession. The survey results indicated that there were several key issues impacting the mental health and wellbeing of student and newly-qualified VNs.

As a follow-up event to the survey, MMI, in collaboration with VN Futures,  invite you to attend our free online Student Veterinary Nursing Wellbeing Discussion Forum to discuss the key challenges highlighted in the survey responses and to explore the ways in which they can be addressed.
