Winners of the second Vet Wellbeing Awards revealed
Four practices have been recognised for their focus on the mental wellbeing of staff, at this year's Vet Wellbeing Awards.
SPVS past president Nick Stuart presented the awards at the SPVS/VMG Congress in Newport today (26 January). The awards celebrate UK veterinary practices and workplaces that value wellbeing.
Mr Stuart said it was the "authenticity" of the entries that really stood out this year. There was a sense that this was something they all "really believed in" rather than a "box-ticking exercise."
He added: "Excellent communication and a supportive work place are essential and the winners were able to demonstrate this. We were delighted to see entries up by 50 per cent compared to last year, which I hope shows that more and more practices are putting their team's health and well-being high up the agenda."
The winners for 2018 were:
Small practice category
Meadows Farm Vets
Medium practice category
Viking Vets
Large practice category
White Cross Vets and Black Vets
The winning practices received two registrations and banquet tickets for the SPVS/VMG Congress.
