Thank you for taking the time to visit ourJustGiving page.

Being in the veterinary profession is a privilege, a passion and can be an incredibly tough job. Giving our all to help each animal and his/her family takes huge energy and it can be hard to cope emotionally sometimes. We forget we are all human beings and get tired, stressed and sometimes feel as though we are failing, especially when we lose a patient we’ve worked hard to save or receive unjustified complaints. Veterinary staff in the U.K. and around the world are particularly prone to anxiety and depression and in the severest of cases, it can end in tragedy. 

When compared with other occupations, veterinary surgeon suicide rates are four times the U. K.’s national average. A large number of us therefore know or know of someone who has died this way. Vetlife is doing amazing work in helping veterinary teams recognise signs of mental health issues and getting life-saving help for those in distress before it is too late. Please donate and help save a life.
