This session will help empower leaders to evolve and challenge traditional ways, create unique toolkits and optimise sustainable veterinary careers within practice. Amid the CMA and VSA reform, this creates a pivotal moment for change, where we can positively tackle the retention crisis and change the ongoing narrative

The Building Is Always Doing Something: Is It Helping You?
- 7th October
- 12.00
Microburst overview:
In this microburst session we are joined by Peter Hall of Agrarian.
Expanding on some of the articles Peter has written, he will be talking about something that he firmly believes: every veterinary building is quietly doing something to the people inside it. The only question is whether it is helping. Drawing on over twenty-five years designing veterinary practices, and the honest, sometimes startling comments left by vets, nurses and practice owners on my recent articles, Peter will share four short, sharp lenses on why the walls around your team may be shaping recruitment, retention and wellbeing more than anyone realises. Expect one particularly memorable prep room frozen in 1923, a hard look at the real numbers behind why vets are really leaving the profession, and a single free question you can put to your own team on Monday morning. Come along and find out what your building has been quietly telling everyone who walks through the door.
The webinar will be 20 minutes with the chance to ask questions at the end.
Suicide Prevention: RCVS standards and support for practice leaders – Recording available for everyone
Microburst overview:
In this microburst session we were joined by Dr Alice Duvernois BVetMed MRCVS, the RCVS Practice Standards Scheme Lead Assessor. Alice has spent over two decades working in veterinary practice, leadership and quality improvement. Having worked as a veterinary surgeon, senior clinician and director of clinical services before joining the RCVS 8 years ago, she brings both practical practice experience and Practice Standards Scheme’s (PSS) perspective. Alice now leads the assessment team responsible for supporting and assessing veterinary practices through the PSS accreditation, helping teams across the UK demonstrate and continuously improve standards of regulatory compliance, patient care, clinical governance and quality improvement.
This microburst covered the new PSS Suicide Prevention Standard and what it means, the new RCVS resources available to support practice leaders. We also covered some simple, practical ways to meet the standard in everyday practices.
