New-look Vetlife website launched at London Vet Show

Support for veterinary surgeons and veterinary nurses (VNs) is to get a new look at the London Vet Show on 24 November, with the launch of Vetlife’s revamped website.

Through the website, Vetlife offers vets and VNs help, information and advice about a range of common issues that have been found to affect those in practice.

We’d like to give a bit of a boost to their website upgrade as we sit on the Vetlife steering committee and have funded initiatives of its parent charity, the Veterinary Benevolent Fund (VBF), such as its crisis helpline for vets and VNs (07659 811 118).

The VBF also offers support through a veterinary surgeons confidential health support programme (07946 634 220), and a rural stress helpline (0845 094 8286).

Whether or not you’re going to the London Vet Show, if you are a vet or VN it’s worth taking a look at this new site.

Over half of the site has been rewritten, and its veterinary standpoint made clear, with more information on wellbeing proposed for addition in the future.

By providing information and advice about common issues faced at work and at home by those in the veterinary professions, Vetlife exists to help vets and VNs avoid – or deal with – them.
