RCVS announces mental health CPD series
The sessions will support delegates in developing leadership skills and recognising the early signs of stress and burnout. 

The sessions will help delegates become confident in recognising stress.

The RCVS has announced a series of online and in-person workshops exploring mental health management in the workplace.

Designed to broaden knowledge on mental health conditions, the series follows the successful launch of the free CPD course, ‘Managing Mental Health in the Workplace’, co-authored with workplace wellbeing specialists, Ultimate Resilience.

In this new series, clinical psychologists Dr Felicity Baker and Dr Jackie Allt from Ultimate Resilience will expand on key concepts from the Academy course.

Through discussion, self-reflection, and practical exercises, the sessions will support delegates in developing leadership skills and becoming confident in recognising early signs of stress and burnout.

Mind Matters lead, Rapinder Newton, said: “We’re heartened by the positive reception that our 'Managing Mental Health in the Workplace' Academy course and bite-size guides have received, and are delighted to be bringing these projects to life in live settings where we can reach wider audiences. 

“Our workshops and webinar provide an opportunity for veterinary professionals to come together, who might not otherwise get the chance to do so.” 

The workshops will be held in-person and online for designated groups within the veterinary community, including veterinarians in clinical and non-clinical roles, veterinary nurses, and those working in the not-for-profit sector.

Further details and information on how to book are available on the RCVS’s dedicated Eventbrite page.
