Recent graduates often find that the transition from a university faculty with 500 highly motivated people to a remote practice with two or three vets takes a profound mental toll. Extra support is now available from the profession for recent graduates.

If you would like to speak to someone with personal experience of the veterinary profession about whatever is troubling you, Vet Helpline offers an empathetic listening service and can tell you how to get more specialist help if necessary.
Tel: 07659 811 118 (local call rates apply, 24hr rapid response answer phone).

In addition, the Veterinary Surgeons’ Health Support Programme is also available to provide completely confidential professional help with alcohol, drug, addiction & mental health issues.
