stressed vet
"Overall, we propose greater cross talk between human health care professionals and veterinary health care workers."

One health approach proposed to share ideas about wellness. 

US research carried out over the past year indicates worryingly high rates of mental health problems in veterinary professionals and students. One group of researchers is hoping to tackle the issue using a 'one health' approach. There are also plans to develop cohorts of vets to evaluate outcomes.

Much of the work has led on from a study published last year in the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association (JAVMA). Principal co-investigator Randall Nett shared some of the key findings at a recent roundtable meeting in Illnois.

Bluetongue RZ extended across Scotland

The Scottish Government has announced an extension to a Bluetongue Restricted Zone that is in place in south-west Scotland.

From 3 October, the Restricted Zone will be extended to cover the whole of Scotland. The Animal, Plant and Health Agency (APHA) says this is in response to further disease spread, as well as simplify trading conditions ahead of the autumn.

Since the whole country will share a disease status, it will no longer be necessary to have a movement license to move susceptible livestock around the country. Restrictions on germinal products remain.

As of 1 October 2026, there were 1,979 cases of BTV-3 in England, 389 cases in Wales and 40 cases in Scotland.
