Veterinary Woman launches Inspired Vet eBook
A second issue is planned for December.
The eBook looks at how vet professionals are pursuing their passions.

A new eBook has been launched by Veterinary Woman with the aim of encouraging veterinary professionals to develop their confidence and skills and find career fulfilment.

Titled Inspired Vet, the eBook is free to download and features a mix of profiles of veterinary professionals  and articles to support personal and career development.

The profiles in the first issue showcase the career journeys of three veterinary professionals: Bridget Adcock, who recently launched her own independent practice; Trevor Whitbread, a clinical pathologist recently awarded an RCVS Fellowship; and Olly King, an equine and small animal veterinary surgeon and founder of the Meraki Initiative.

The profiles offer insights into what has kept them motivated, what brings them satisfaction at work, and the advice they would share with others.

The eBook also includes articles looking at topics including how to create and develop an effective team, leadership in a customer-orientated business, and fostering inclusivity and diversity in veterinary workplaces.

Veterinary Woman was created to inspire and support women in the veterinary sector. A second Inspired Vet eBook is set to be released in December 2024.

Jenny Langridge, Veterinary Woman editor, said: “We are aware of the challenges for vet professionals across all roles and disciplines in maintaining balance and satisfaction in their careers through different life stages and changing personal situations.

“Bringing together practical information on topics that can help empower individuals in their career, along with stories from vet professionals who are fulfilling their passions in their own ways, we hope to help provide inspiration and ideas to help us thrive in our own paths.”

The eBook can be downloaded here.

The rescue centre has seen a dramatic increase in dogs coming into its care, and is currently caring for over 200 dogs. With rising costs and dropping temperatures, the charity is calling for urgent support.

It costs the charity £6,000 per day to continue its work.

Fi Harrison, head of fundraising and communications, said: "It's heart-breaking for our team to see the conditions some dogs arrive in. We really are their last chance and hope of survival."

Avian flu confirmed at premises in Cornwall

A case of highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 has been detected in commercial poultry at a premises near Rosudgeon, Cornwall.

All poultry on the infected site will be humanely culled, and a 3km protection zone and 10km surveillance zone have been put in place. Poultry and other captive birds in the 3km protection zone must be housed.

The case is the second avian flu case confirmed in commercial poultry this month. The H5N5 strain was detected in a premises near Hornsea, East Riding of Yorkshire, in early November. Before then, the disease had not been confirmed in captive birds in England since February.

The UK chief veterinary officer has urged bird keepers to remain alert and practise robust biosecurity.
