I read an article from Vet Times this morning, detailing a recent survey and it revealed that Veterinary Sciences have emerged as the most employable degree in the UK, with an impressive 79% of graduates securing full-time employment right after completing their degree. This places veterinary graduates ahead of those in medicine, dentistry, and teaching, in terms of employability. The data from the Higher Education Statistics Agency, highlights the growing demand for veterinary professionals and the valuable skills they bring to the workforce. It's clear that pursuing a degree in Veterinary Sciences opens up numerous career opportunities and ensures a smooth transition into the job market. As the veterinary industry continues to evolve, now is the perfect time to consider a career in this rewarding field. Whether you're a recent graduate or considering a career change, the demand for skilled veterinary professionals is higher than ever. There are over 1,500 types of POAO (Products of Animal Origin) requiring an Export Health Certificate, and here at Eville & Jones we are the UK market's leading provider of EHCs. Are you a European or UK based vet looking for a new opportunity? Or maybe you are one of the few graduates struggling to find a veterinary opportunity? Do not panic.

Dear Veterinary Student, I see you. You’re navigating an incredible journey—one filled with so much beauty and purpose but also some hardships. When you started down this path, you likely did so with a heart bursting with love for animals and a fierce desire to make a difference in their lives as well as their owner’s. This passion is rare, and the world desperately needs people like you. I know that, some days, this profession can feel overwhelming. The expectations, the long hours, the emotional weight can cause you to slowly sink, like you can’t take another step. There may be moments when it feels like no one understands, and you wonder if you’ll ever make it through. I’ve been there too. But please know this: you are not alone. The same qualities that brought you into this field—your resilience, empathy, and commitment to something bigger than yourself—are the same strengths that will see you through. You are capable of facing these challenges and finding your way. Sometimes, the path forward is not about pushing harder but about finding support, learning to rest, and giving yourself grace. It’s okay to lean on others when you need to. It’s okay to be vulnerable and reach out, to talk openly about your struggles and ask for help. Asking for help does not diminish your strength or your commitment; it affirms your courage. Know that you deserve a fulfilling life both within and outside the school and clinic walls, one that makes space for your well-being, your dreams, and your joy. You’re part of a community that cares about you deeply, even when it may not feel like it. You have so much to give, and the world is better with you in it. So please, hold on. Breathe. Take things one day at a time. The profession needs you, but more importantly, the world itself needs you. And you deserve to be here, fully and wholly, with a heart that finds peace amid the chaos. With love, Someone who understands #NotOneMoreVetStudent #SuicideAwareness #LoveLetters #4TheVeterinaryStudents

Today is World One Health Day! As a lecturer in #OneHealth at the Veterinary School, University of Central Lancashire,I wanted to point out the need for an awareness and consciousness that everything is connected; our health as humans, the health & welfare of the animal around us, the food eat and produce, and their impact on environment we live on. Every action and/or inaction, individually and collectively is important. Hence the need to work together sustainably.

Resilience is good, right ? …….. Can you develop resilience if you are taught to avoid risk, or that failure should be prevented at all costs ? Some interesting conversations here at London Vet Show & BVA Live with some veterinary younglings about their experiences and training post graduation. In some larger practices or corporate graduate training programs (a good principle), there seems to be an underlying teaching and culture that if you are not 100% confident of a patient that you are diagnosing/treating then you should refer it to a specialist (usually the central hospital in a hub and spoke model) - it’s gold standard, or the best thing for the patient, right ? But speaking to these vets, it gave me the impression that it was teaching risk aversiveness and fear, rather than stimulating a hunger and desire for “how could I learn to do this, who could help me or teach me to do this” (I’m not talking complex neurosurgical cases- but rather high quality gp work) Now I don’t think for a second that this is the intention, but rather the unintended consequence of that model. So, if you’re a veterinary youngling looking for your next or first job, talk to some of the other recent grads in your potential practice and ask them what happens to a slightly tricky case that puts you out of your comfort zone and into the ‘stretch zone’ where you start to learn and become more awesome…

On the 7th of last month, the U82 (i.e 1982) set of faculty of Veterinary Medicine, ABU Zaria came to the faculty to have an interaction with the students as a part of their reunion program. It was a short interactive session where they talked with us and encouraged us on how to make a living for ourselves and make worthy contributions to our society. One of the very few questions the students asked was what challenges they faced and how they were able to surmount those challenges. The answer? They didn't have any challenge even if they had, it was minimal. The system was almost flawless: - There were fewer students in class - Some of them were on double scholarships - Some were mobile on campus (they had cars) - Some had 4 appointment letters even before they graduated 😳 shocking right? - Then there was clinics (600L), where they had the opportunity to travel comfortably (Four per vehicle alongside the instructor and driver) to different farms in different locations for training. To cut the story short, they had a very conducive environment for learning. We tried to compare the situation THEN and the situation NOW and there was totally ZERO grounds for comparison. A lot was said but there are few things I learnt that I feel someone here can learn from. This is not specific to any discipline, these are general tips that can help us going forward. What I learnt? - Have both general and specialized knowledge. Never limit yourself to what you've studied in the university but study wide and be opened to different concepts. - The concept of starting small. The little you have at hand coupled with a growth mindset and diligence will do the trick. - Have an open mind. A closed mind is a danger to the to the owner of the mind. - Don't be LAZY! Be disciplined enough to commit to your training. - Have multiple income streams. There are no white collar jobs out there so be ready to put your hands in whatever LEGITIMATE business you can find. This is just little out of all I learnt. These Grandfathers poured themselves out unreservedly and it was a really great experience. Going forward, we need more people who will make it a goal to interact with the younger generation as a form of encouragement and for the purpose of mitigating costly mistakes we are prone to make. Cheers 😊
