Langford Vets has become the first UK vet group to offer a Veterinary Human Support Worker to support staff and clients with the emotional load and complex decision-making involved in patient care.

Rhonda Hopkins, who has 28 years experience in high-acuity healthcare, including 10 years in Helicopter Emergency Medical Services (HEMS), will be helping clients navigate difficult decisions and end of life care and supporting clinical teams in managing the emotion aspect of delivering clinical care.

Rhonda said: "Veterinary care doesn't just involve clinical decisions - it involves people navigating some of the most difficult moments with the animals they love.

"This role brings dedicated emotional and psychological support into practice, helping both clients and teams manage those challenges.

"By supporting our people, we strengthen the care we provide to every patient."
