Vetlife provides information on all the support available to veterinary students, veterinary nurses and veterinary surgeons on a wide range of issues from both the established veterinary charities and from outside the profession.

The Vetlife Steering Committee, with representatives from all the main veterinary organisations, have designed the site in response to concern over the high rate of suicide and depression within the profession.  Please contact them at info@vetlife.org.uk if you have any comments or suggestions for new content.

If you are currently feeling too distressed to browse the site and you need someone to talk to, you may wish to ring the Vet Helpline on 07659 811 118 (local rates apply, 24 hour rapid response answerphone) or the Samaritans on 08457 90 90 90 who can also be emailed at jo@samaritans.org.uk.  ** Please note that Vet Helpline doesn't provide advice to members of the public about their pets **

Vetlife is funded by the Veterinary Benevolent Fund (VBF).  Any donations made to VBF through the site will be used to continue the work they have done for over a hundred years supporting the veterinary profession.
