New online resources to support mental wellbeing
"We hope as many people as possible will join us to pause, reflect and share stories in a safe irtual space" - Lisa Quiqley, MMI manager.
Resources include webinars and online reflection sessions.

New digital wellbeing resources to help veterinary professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic have been published by the RCVS' Mind Matters Initiative (MMI).

The resources, which include a series of three webinars and a programme of free online reflection sessions, have been launched to reflect Mental Health Week (18-24 May), of which this year's theme is kindness.

MMI manager Lisa Quiqley said: “We know also that many of those with existing mental health conditions, such as anxiety or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), will be finding this a particularly challenging time. We hope as many people as possible will join us to pause, reflect, and share stories in a safe virtual space.”

To sign up to the webinars or to register your interest for the reflection sessions, visit vetmindmatters.org/events
. Webinar recordings will be made available on the MMI website after the event.

Government releases latest bluetongue statistics

APHA has confirmed the number of bluetongue cases that have been logged in the UK since 1 July 2026.

The total number of BTV-3 cases, as of 6 August, is 187. This includes 183 cases in England and four cases in Wales.

There have been no recorded cases in Scotland and Northern Ireland.

The location of premises in Great Britain where at least one animal has tested positive by PCR for BTV-3, BTV-8 or BTV-12 is available on the bluetongue case map. All livestock keepers in Great Britain are urged to familiarise themselves with nation-specific bluetongue control policies.

Bluetongue virus is a notifiable disease. It is a legal requirement that any suspicions, even if livestock has been vaccinated, are reported immediately.
