Today’s Equine Veterinarians Want Work-Life Balance
“(BEVA does) a member survey each year, and it was interesting to see that the greatest change from 2016 to 2017, the most important things members were worried about last year, was work-life balance,” says Victoria M. Nicholls, BSc (Hons), BVetMed, Cert. AVP (EM), Cert. AVP (ED), BAEDT, MRCVS. “I think that’s really changed.”
Nicholls, a mother of two, is coordinator of equine postgraduate professional studies in the University of Liverpool’s Veterinary Postgraduate Unit and was BEVA president 2017-2018. She and co-founder Lucy Grieve, MA, VetMB, MRCVS, believe the shift in work-life-balance concern reflects the current demographic in equine veterinary practice. Women outnumber men—as is the case in the United States—and generally place more emphasis on such balance due to raising families.
