Surveys to Measure Wellbeing in the Veterinary Profession

The RCVS is inviting all vets and VNs to take part in a survery of their profession and, for the first time, these surveys will measure mental wellbeing.

The information will provide a snapshot of the veterinary professions and help the RCVS to understand and analyse changing trends. The surveys are being undertaken by an independent research organization and all data will be anonymised before being shared with the RCVS and other organizations, such as researchers at Defra and at the School of Medicine, University of Southampton, who will analyse selected topics in more depth.

 “These surveys produce very useful information about the veterinary and veterinary nursing profession, not least because they usually get a good response rate,” explains RCVS Registrar, Jane Hern. “We will use the information, for example, in our discussions about new veterinary legislation, 24/7 and the Professional Development Phase for newly-qualified vets. So please make sure that you send the form to the IES – or fill it in online – before 8 February.”

Forms can by completed online by clicking here for vets, or here for VNs. The findings of previous studies can be found here.
