In-light of the ongoing challenges veterinary professionals are facing both professionally and personally The Webinar Vet is offering free access to its entire library of health and wellbeing webinars for the month of April to provide support for the veterinary profession in these uncertain times.
With an increase in the number of calls to Vetlife over the last few weeks, The Webinar Vet wanted to continue to show our support for the whole veterinary profession, not just in their CPD, but across their entire lives. Since 2016 we estimate that over 7000 individuals have accessed health and wellbeing content via The Webinar Vet platform and we feel it is more important than ever to be checking in on our mental as well as physical health and this resource is the perfect starting point for doing so.
The content has been developed and delivered by Dr Mike Scanlan, Mike focuses on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Response prevention (EMDR), Mindfulness and Compassionate Focussed Therapy approaches.
The access includes;
Recorded and upcoming Sunday meditation sessions
30 minutes of guided meditation

Not only do the webinars give you a chance to take time to yourself and dedicate time to look after your mental wellbeing, but the content of the webinars can teach you scientific-based tools and techniques that you can use to cope with everyday stresses as well as healthy methods to let go of stress and tension.
Anthony Chadwick CEO & Founder of The Webinar Vet said
“As a vet, I'm very passionate about the mental health of anybody who works in our industry and in these unprecedented times, in conjunction with the RCVS, it just seemed the right time to make these resources available to all of our community. If it helps even a handful of people it is worthwhile. These resources have been built up over several years with the financial help of the Mind Matters Initiative. It was very prescient of the RCVS to set up this resource five years ago. I hope the webinars can help make people less worried about the ongoing situation”.
