Online workshops to explore veterinary workforce issues
The workshops will explore the seven ambitions outlined in the Workforce Action Plan.
The sessions will consider recruitment and retention strategies. 

Veterinary professionals are being invited to attend a series of online workshops exploring the current workforce issues.

The series, entitled 'Ambitions Explored', will look at how the RCVS, organisations, veterinary employers and individuals can work together to recruit more people into the professions, how to retain those already in the sector, and how to encourage those who may have left to return.

Specifically, each session will focus on one of the seven overarching ambitions outlined in the recently published Workforce Action Plan, which grew out of the RCVS-led Workforce Summit in November 2021. 

The workshops will be led by the RCVS ViVet Innovation Project, comprising a panel discussion of each ambition in greater detail, and expert speakers describing what it means to them. There will also be an opportunity for the audience to ask questions.

Angharad Belcher, RCVS director of advancement of the professions, said: “These sessions are focussed on how we can all translate these ideas into our organisations and working lives, as well as being an opportunity for open discussion. The speakers all come from different types of practice and can share their experience of responding to these issues. 

“We encourage participation by the audience, and there is the opportunity to submit questions in advance. It should give people ideas and practical concepts to take back into their organisations as we know there is not a ‘one-size-fits-all approach.

She added: “One thing that we made clear through the Summit and the Action Plan is the importance of collaboration, no one organisation can solve as complicated and multi-factorial an issue as the workforce challenge on their own. We hope to welcome you to these sessions to share your insights and contribute to the on-going discussions.”

The sessions take place online between 7pm and 8.15pm, starting on Thursday, 16 February and running until Wednesday, 12 April. For more information and to book your place on one of the sessions, visit the dedicated Eventbrite page.
