Radisson Blu Hotel, Edinburgh City Centre

<h2>This in-person course is part of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons Mind Matters Initiative and is open to all members of the veterinary practice team.</h2><h3>The Mind Matters Initiative recognises how important it is to provide veterinary professionals with the tools they need to look after their mental health.</h3>The VetLed Civility programme will be brought to you in collaboration with VN Futures but open to all members of the profession and supporting teams. A 2021 Mind Matters Initiative survey of student veterinary nurses, recently graduated veterinary nurses, and clinical coaches showed that 96% of respondents felt bullying was a serious problem in the professions. Incivility and bullying in the workplace impact us all, whether we are individually targeted or experience the repercussions of such behaviour as part of a wider workplace culture. This interactive training session will look at the importance of civility in practice, how to recognise incivility and understand its impacts, and identify the ways in which it can successfully be addressed.
