VetX International is appealing to veterinary nurses and students to take part in a new study into career happiness, stress and mental wellbeing amongst the veterinary workforce.

The study, titled The Veterinary Employment, Engagement and Retention Study (VEER), opened this week and aims to collect data from thousands of veterinary professionals across the United Kingdom and beyond.

Dr Dermot McInerney (pictured right), VetX Head of Research and Partnerships, said: “We will use the data collected to understand the factors influencing career happiness and how they impact on talent attraction and retention.

"We want to share this information with as many people as possible so we can work together to create a better, more sustainable situation for both employers and employees in veterinary practice.”

The study findings will be published later in 2022 and made available to all industry stakeholders.

All participants will receive a special report of the results with customised career advice, and be entered into a weekly draw to win a prize.
