18. Feedback … Everyone feels stress and becomes overwhelmed, often without discovering effective avenues to help themselves – the programme covers that very well (female vet student) Extremely thought provoking. Would be good to show other practice staff especially practice managers who are often closely involved with dealing with issues in practices (new veterinary graduate) Well done – this was excellent. I would strongly support your plans to take this around all UK veterinary schools. (veterinary lecturer)
