The Back in the Saddle group career coaching scheme was launched in 2024 and received overwhelmingly positive feedback from its first cohort. We invited coachee, Vicky Jux, to share her experience of being part of this initiative, which is free to member and open to vets and nurses who are over 5 years qualified. The impact of this coaching on those involved is seemingly more far-reaching than anyone expected!

Applications are open until Wednesday 21 May for our second cohort, apply today! https://form.asana.com/?k=YgbV0AP4QenGbWwdtIpXcQ&d=11947487954206

Hamish is clearly not afraid to challenge his expectations, nor take a punt on an opportunity when it arises... but he's made sure he realises the advantages whilst accepting the challenges and has seen all walks of equine veterinary life, from multi-million pound racehorses to working equids. Far from narrowing down his career choices, this has driven him to maintain the spread of opportunities in front of him and to never pass an open door without at least looking in.

Menopause is an increasingly hot topic for the general population, but there are aspects of equine veterinary work which can make elements of this normal ageing process more challenging for those affected and the people around them. Liz talks us through the basic understanding which we all need in order to fully support our workforce during those times, and Gemma relays how far-reaching the impact of menopause is, from the very subtle to the more obvious!

BEVA's Junior Vice President, Kate Blakeman, talks us through the the new Infectious Diseases hub on the BEVA website. Celia Marr chairs the BEVA Equine Infectious Diseases Group, which worked on this treasure trove of resources which helps vets and nurses out in practice. There are resources for clients also, which vets and nurses can share with the touch of a button. More resources are being worked on and the hub will evolve over time to b your one-stop-shop for clinical sign radars to consensus building tools, endemic to exotic, and biosecurity to vaccines.
