Keeping fuel in the tank during your shift with Cathy Warburton
Staying well is about what you do at work, as well as what you do outside of work. It’s also about what you do and what your workplace supports you to do.
Times are tough in the veterinary profession – we all know it. Many of us are arriving home emotionally exhausted. You get home, have a quick chat to your family or friends, eat some healthy food, do a spot of yoga, get as much sleep as you can, and turn up to work with your tank ¾ full ready to make a difference. Amazing effort! Fast forward a few consults and phone calls, a procedure and two difficult interactions with clients and you can feel that your fuel level is low. You still have a lot to get through. So - let’s talk about what you and your team can do to keep your fuel tank topped up during the day, so that you stay energized, well and motivated to keep doing the work you love.
