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)
