This week I want to start a conversation, a discussion – with YOU. I want to know what YOUR thoughts, opinions and ideas are on a letter I received over the weekend.
It’s an Open Letter written by a practicing veterinarian in a small town who tragically lost her veterinarian husband to suicide three years ago.
The full text of Dr Jasmin's letter is on episode 18's Paws Claws Wet Noses show notes page for this episode so you can read it yourself.
It’s written to the Veterinary Practitioners Boards of Australia, the Australian Veterinary Association and anyone else who cares to read on… and is sent by Dr Jasmin Klocker – a mixed practice veterinarian in NSW.
The Australian CVE – the Centre for Veterinary Education - will invite comments from the AVA and the Veterinary Boards which will be published in Issue 303 in June 2021. So if you want to contribute / participate in that conversation you can virtually head over the Ditch and do that there.
In this letter Dr Jasmin shares how it is for her working in Australia. It’s because her experiences didn’t sound that much different to what life on this side of the Tasman is like for veterinarians here in Godzone Aotearoa New Zealand, that I wanted to share this with you.
Also, because I was sent a copy of this letter – by a practicing kiwi companion animal veterinarian, and Dr Jasmin also gave me her permission, I believe it’s definitely worth bringing to the attention of veterinarians on this side of the Tasman.
