Further research to be carried out on mental health in veterinary professions
However, CEO and registrar of the Veterinary Council of Ireland (VCI) Niamh Muldoon has told
AgriLand that the council’s next task is to carry out such research, and it will be partnering with the National Suicide Research Foundation and the National Office for Suicide Prevention to do so early in the new year.
In November, the VCI launched a new Safevet Smart Handbook, which it says provides practical mental health advice and support for veterinary professionals.
Its author, Dr. Margaret O’Rourke, is a clinical psychologist and director of behavioural science at the School of Medicine in University College Cork.
