Hi All, Happy Tuesday!
I am looking for a keynote speaker for SPVS – The Society of Practicing Veterinary Surgeons (in the UK). It is a not for profit veterinary association focusing on leadership (https://spvs.org.uk ). We dont have a huge budget. I am on the advisory board. Anyone here has any ideas who may be a good speaker or perhaps anyone in this community interested? :):)

Live session, not remote. event is January 2023.
key problem in the profession – recruitment and retention crisis. burnout and stress. overwork. underpaid. and many vets undervalue themselves. vets suicide rate is 4 times the national average in uk. a normal day rate for a rate is £300 as a locum freelancer (let alone employed). …here i bet most would charge that per hour. and a lot of these vets are 10+years qualified with numerous degrees and specialisations, and its a private industry, but we are treated and get paid like…hmm.. well not private. but if we charged like others, noone would have pets. pet owners already think we should be treating for free because we care (swore an oath) – we get so much abuse… there is 1 in 2 attrition rate at 5 years qualified. we have more vets schools then ever and cant keep people in clinical practice.

Hi Silvia. I wonder if there’s an itch that needs scratching? What’s the one wicked problem vets would like to get on top of these days? Is there a main threat to their careers/profession that they’re currently up against?
Could this give you a hint who to look for?
When is the event. And are you thinking live or remote…?
