Veterinary Patient Safety & Just Culture

“Just wanted to check in and say thank you and congratulations.


As a team, VetLed pulled off a brilliantly inspiring conference with a real sense of not only community but a movement for change.”

'Dan's talk was fascinating and thought-provoking. It is so applicable to our work in the veterinary sector, both in terms of communication and Human Factors within our practices. Learning in these current times to be adaptive with all that is going on in the world around us is so important.'

“The practical day was so helpful. Cat and Sara created an extremely safe environment and were so kind, patient and understanding. Everyone in my group commented on how they felt they could be completely open and share mistakes, silly questions etc.”

“The whole team found the Introduction to the Civility Programme extremely useful to ensure we all had the same understanding of the importance of civility in practice. We are looking forward to the next steps in the programme so that we have more tools and training for compassionate communication as a team.”

"The VetLed Leadership Programme has been an invaluable resource for our leadership team, helping us explore our individual strengths and challenges while aligning our leaders towards a common goal.  From the first session, we noticed a difference in confidence with leadership decisions, using tools that prioritize people and foster a healthy and sustainable practice culture. 

Their supportive and engaging course leaders provide real-life insight into veterinary practice and create an environment where the team feels encouraged to speak up in group sessions.

I would highly recommend VetLed for any team that understands the importance of their people and the team culture in creating success.”

‘I was hesitant about it being all virtual and how engaging it would feel, however the tech has been easy to navigate and I haven't had any issues. The networking session was run really well and I enjoyed the opportunity for discussion.‘

‘Amazing and inspiring as always, so many ideas and concepts to take away and take back. Came just at the right time for me when I've maybe been flagging a little professionally. You have all helped stoke that fire and reinvigorate my enthusiasm. Incredibly grateful for this community. Great few days, really enjoyed it, already excited about next year!’

“In a busy multi-disciplinary referral hospital like ours, Human Factors plays a key role in team dynamics, staff wellbeing, and ultimately patient care. The support of VetLed has been invaluable in improving our knowledge in this area. 

The VetLed team worked with colleagues from across the hospital over an extended period, using observations, frameworks, tools, and techniques that we can take forward on our Human Factors improvement journey.

We are grateful for the support of VetLed and would not hesitate to work with them again in the future.”

“I just wanted to drop you both a note to say, thank you for the sessions you ran for us this and last week. The feedback from our teams has been overwhelmingly positive. The sessions were well delivered, engaging and very useful! It has definitely triggered a couple of other projects we would like to implement later in the year.”

“Training and understanding of how the brain works has encouraged people to be braver and speak out. Staff understand it is better to talk to each other rather than harbour resentment. There is now an overall improvement in tolerance and respect towards each other, particularly where there had been previous issues. People are more confident to suggest ideas and more willing to listen.”

“The team have become much more aware of how incivility can affect us and our performance and in general the team are more inclined to discuss this amongst themselves and some team members have grown in confidence to approach peers and deliver feedback when they have perceived someone to be uncivil.”
