This month is particularly exciting for equine professionals, with the return of the British Equine Veterinary Association Congress. As expected, robust COVID-19 safety measures will be in place to ensure delegates can attend with confidence. The programme is impressively diverse and caters to all members of the profession, with a number of non-clinical subjects also being covered. These will include discussions of work-life balance, learning from human epidemics and staying safe at work. It is refreshing to see increasing attention being paid to such matters and we should all make an effort to make time to expand our learning outside of the clinical bubble.

Newer members of the profession are more aware of the importance of a healthy work environment and, as concepts such as flexible working hours filter through the profession, we will all have to adapt. Rather like learning new clinical skills, we can all learn new life skills and modify our working practices accordingly. Often, looking outside the equine veterinary world at other professions can be extremely illuminating. Indeed, only through our preparation to modify and adapt to new working practices, particularly with regard to mental health, will we be able to attract the vibrant individuals we need as equine vets.
