We know many of you are passionate about the environment and would like to make positive changes in your workplace, but where and how do you start?
We all have a vital role to play in helping to make sure that our workplaces are more environmentally friendly, and veterinary teams are well placed to help reduce the environmental impact of the profession, the wider industry, and the communities you serve.
BVA are pleased to be partnering with Vet Sustain and VDS Training to bring you the Greener Veterinary Practice Webinar Series, a free set of online events suitable for all levels of experience to help you in your journey to a more sustainable way of working. They will be navigating through the ‘Greener Veterinary Practice Checklist’, providing advice on how to motivate your team and make practical changes at work, as well as answering your questions about being more sustainable.
