Our training initiative from the Veterinary Management Group (VMG) aims to educate veterinary leaders and managers, or those aspiring to these roles on mental health in the workplace.
The course is delivered via our VMG’s online learning platform and can either be taken as a standalone CPD course, or as a module for those already undertaking our ILM-accredited veterinary leadership and management qualifications. The module includes online resources, reading materials and webinars to consolidate and contextualise the online learning materials. The content covers employers’ obligations from the Equality Act, mental health, and reasonable adjustments.
This course meets the requirements for the RCVS Practice Standards Scheme module ‘Practice Team’, on understanding the Equality Act, mental illness prevention and managements, and line manager training on mental health awareness.
