Networking opportunity with drinks and canapés from 17:00, with the panel discussion starting at 17:30.

Veterinary professionals across Europe are facing mounting challenges—ranging from burnout and mental health struggles to increasing workload and workforce shortages. In this session, Zoetis will present key findings from a new whitepaper, Transforming Veterinary Practice for the 21st Century, based on extensive research across six European markets. The paper reveals the critical barriers to sustainability in the profession and outlines evidence-based interventions. The presentation will be followed by a panel discussion exploring tangible solutions, including best practices from clinics, industry, and academia. This session is designed to empower delegates with fresh insights and practical strategies to support wellbeing, retention, and resilience in veterinary teams.
