Next up for our colleague appreciation collaboration series for Black History Month is Joshua, also known as 🖤

This year’s theme is “Honouring Our Communities”, so being from South London with Guyanese 🇬🇾 heritage, Joshua is a wonderful example of honouring some of the diverse communities that are currently underrepresented in vet med here in the UK.

A proud vet nurse who enjoys schedule 3 procedures and is currently working towards his certificate in anaesthesia, Joshua currently works in a couple of different vet practices. With both contributing towards supporting SVNs & vet students, Joshua relishes a mentoring role and helping students & colleagues to thrive.

We’re grateful to Joshua for sharing his time & experiences with us here, so watch on to learn more about clinical opportunities for vet nurses, what it’s like to be black & male in veterinary nursing, and how Joshua looks after his wellbeing 🫱🏻‍🫲🏾

Black History Month is back here in the UK, and so are we with another round of wonderful collaborations to highlight the contributions of some of our colleagues from black communities to veterinary medicine 🖤

This year’s theme is “Honouring Our Communities”, so we couldn’t start with a better person than Nicole given that she is a part of so many smaller communities within the larger vet profession!

We first met Nicole through the fabulous community several years ago, and during this time she has also been waving the flag for communities advocating for EDI in veterinary, such as and .

She now works part-time in small animal practice, having started a new part-time role in the civil service several months ago, and is enjoying the balance that it brings.

We’re also delighted to have Nicole as part of the VetYogi community, and she will be joining us again on our stand at this year’s London Vet Show so come and say hello if you’re coming! Not only that, but this year Nicole is being recognised by the 30 Under 30, so she is definitely one to watch!

Huge thanks to Nicole for collaborating with us and sharing her thoughts on diversity & representation within vet med - watch on to hear more 😻

Last week we returned to catch up with the fabulous team & delegates for BVRA Congress 😺

It’s always such a pleasure to speak to this receptive crowd, and we loved seeing them give some chair yoga & breath work a go with Chloé in our practical session bespoke for veterinary receptionists.

Back by popular demand, Sarah gave our fellow exhibitors a breather and much-needed stretch with a standing yoga demo in the exhibition hall.

We’re here for the whole vet team and community regardless of role! 💚

Thanks for having us back, and to everyone who came to see us on the stand. Give your 10 Day Meditation Challenge a go and watch out for our brand new VetYogi Collective platform - and Yogi+ CPD content - going live soon 🙌🏻

Stress, burnout & compassion fatigue are unfortunately common states of being for veterinary professionals ❤️‍🔥

These terms are often used interchangeably, but all have specific indicators and some differences.

In our latest blog - Understanding Stress, Burnout & Compassion Fatigue in Vet Med - we aim to define and explore them, check-in with what the research teaches us, and how we can practically reduce their impact in ourselves and our working environments…

Yoga & meditation are valuable tools for helping to manage stress and re-connect you with your true self - the person at the core of the job title, vocation, and multiple hats we all wear, and we’re here to help at VetYogi! 🧘🏻‍♀️

When talking about veterinary mental health and burnout, we’d be remiss not to mention the extensive body of research & resources provided by Dr. Dr Rosie Allister (a tiny part of which we reference) and the Vetlife team, so please do check that out too.

We’re not saying you can “yoga” your way out of all of this, so if any of this strikes a chord at a time you’re suffering, please do remember Vetlife are here for the vet profession 24/7, 365, or reach out to someone you trust/a mental health professional 💚

In just ✨ 2 weeks ✨ we’re heading back for another fabulous BVRA Congress

Last year was so much fun, and we are looking forward to reconnecting with our veterinary receptionist pals, and of course making some new ones!

Chloé is once again taking to the stage, but this time for a more practical session - let’s use that wellbeing toolkit in real time together 🪑🧘🏻‍♀️
Don’t miss it 12.30 - 13.00 for a bit of self-care in your chair!

Sarah returns to join Chloé on the stand, so will be there to answer all of your questions, help you treat yourself to a candle or one of our tops, plus she might be persuaded to lead a bit of yoga for our fellow exhibitors again 🙌🏻

Let us know in the comments if we’ll see you there, or what your favourite moment from last year was!

See you in Solihull…

Thank you, old faithful 🩺 A story of my stethoscope…

After nearly 20 years of being by my side (or more accurately, around my neck), my much-loved .id stethoscope has finally auscultated its final patient.

Bought for me by my parents in time for my very first day of vet school back in 2007, receiving this stethoscope (and of course it had to be green!) was recognition that I was achieving the dream I’d held since the age of 6 - becoming a vet

Over the years of vet school, and then throughout my professional career, this stethoscope was a vital tool for learning & progressing as a clinician. It has offered reassurance of normality, and it has enabled alerts of cause for concern, listening to countless heart murmurs, lung crackles, gut sounds. It has heard the first beats and the very last beats of numerous little (and not so little) souls 💚

My stethoscope has been in my ears travelling throughout the UK & the world - Australia, NZ, the Cook Islands, all through SE Asia and beyond… it has listened to countless species - of course dogs, cats, horses, cows & rabbits etc, but also wombats, camels, parrots, koalas, seals & so many more.

It has had to posted on to me perhaps a few (ahem) times, and colleagues around me will have heard “has anybody seen my stethoscope?” on replay, with so many kind replies or texts of “I’ve put your stethoscope in your pigeon hole” or “I’ll keep it safe for you”. These lovely people are key reasons why I was able to hang on to it for nearly 2 decades!

When last week I had to accept its retirement, it was surprisingly gutting 😫 As the first thing I reach for in patient interactions, it’s a part of my still being a vet in practice, and a stethoscope in particular is personal to each one of us who uses them. For VetYogi I recognised the importance of it as a symbol of our work even incorporating it into one of our slogans

So, I just wanted to take a moment to express gratitude for something that has played a vital part in my career 🙏🏻

I guess I’m finally in the market for a new one - what are your recommendations?
