Mind Matters — wellbeing and the year ahead
Abstract
It's been a busy year for the RCVS Mind Matters Initiative, and there are further events, awards and training sessions to come, as Lisa Quigley explains.
It has been a busy year so far for the Royal College of Veterinary Surgesons' Mind Matters Initiative (MMI) — presenting at events, welcoming more ambassadors to our joint &me anti-stigma campaign with the Doctors' Support Network, and once again joining with the Society of Practising Veterinary Surgeons (SPVS) to open up the Vet Wellbeing Awards. I joined the Mind Matters team as Manager in May, and it's been amazing to get involved with so many wonderful projects!
Early on in the year Mind Matters teamed up with Dr Elinor O'Connor, Senior Lecturer in Occupational Psychology at Alliance Manchester Business School at the University of Manchester, to publish ‘A Guide to Enhancing Wellbeing and Managing Work Stress in the Veterinary Workplace’. This was launched at the SPVS/Veterinary Management Group (VMG) Congress from 25–27 January 2018 in Newport, and provides some really practical tips for increasing wellbeing in the veterinary workplace. If you'd like to download a copy, it's available digitally on our website (www.vetmindmatters.org/wellbeingguide).
