In September, our 2 Directors will be running the Bath Marathon to raise money for the Veterinary Health Charity Vetlife to help support veterinarian struggling with their mental health.  https://www.vetlife.org.uk/. We are passionate about wellbeing and positive mental health and are looking forward to doing our bit to help such an important service to the veterinary profession. If only there was one for Recruitment!

Part 2: Further to our original post in December last year on umbrella companies for locum veterinary staff (https://www.glvets.com/lets-talk-about-umbrella-companies/) we had requests from readers looking for additional information. We listened and we will be filling any blanks from the last one. First up is an important one for all locum staff- veterinary surgeons particularly. Are you insured when working through an umbrella company?  We always advocate ‘professional’ locums (i.e. full time locums) to register with the VDS annually – https://www.glvets.com/what-is-vds-cover/ Dec ember 2020 blog.  The answer depends on which umbrella company you locum through. We mainly work with I4 Group and Churchill Knight.
