Vet Mind Works Podcast
This podcast is for veterinary professionals who are looking for better ways of working and living. We discuss mind-sets, mind skills, behaviours and habits, which support sustainable performance and wellbeing in a challenging profession, and allow us to develop our own 'best veterinary self'. Podcast hosts Petra Agthe and Alison Collings (two vets with a long-standing interest in psychology and related disciplines) interview interesting guests, ranging from veterinary colleagues to psychologists, who share their knowledge, experiences and insights on specific subjects. Occasionally, we also schedule a 'rest and digest' episode in which we discuss and reflect on previous topics. This is a podcast for the whole veterinary community and we encourage listeners to provide feedback and enter the discussion! You can do this by sending us an email to vetmindworks@gmail.com. We are happily funding this podcast ourselves to keep it independent. However, you can show your support by donating towards a fundraising campaign in aid of a mental health project for Ukrainian veterinary colleagues: https://galaxyvets.foundation/campaigns/mental-health-support-for-ukrainian-veterinary-professionals/

27. Brexit, COVID and tortoises - with Daniella Dos Santos and Clive Elwood
In this episode, host Clive Elwood is joined by Daniella Dos Santos. Together, they explore Daniella’s journey into, and experience of, veterinary leadership through a tumultuous period for the world. They discuss the importance of seizing opportunities, holding to principles and developing self-understanding, as well as acknowledging the toll taken on leaders during times of crisis. And tortoises come into it too!
Daniella graduated from the Royal Veterinary College in 2012, having previously obtained a degree in molecular genetics due to a slightly longer than usual route to vet school. She practiced across the South-East of England in first opinion small animal practice, with an interest in exotics and latterly dentistry. In 2019 she became the youngest ever BVA President, guiding the profession through Brexit and the Covid-19 pandemic. In 2021 she became a Fellow of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons for Meritorious Contributions to the Profession and was awarded the RCVS Inspiration Award for her leadership through the pandemic. She has been a trustee of various animal welfare charities and is currently a trustee for the Pet Plan Charitable Trust. In 2022 she joined IVC Evidensia as the Director of Professional Culture.
