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.
