  • Finding a unifying strategy GIVEN the rate at which things are changing in the profession, it is heartening to see, from the results of a recent online survey undertaken as part of the Vet Futures project, that a majority of UK vets feel that their working life to date has matched or exceeded their expectations and they generally feel positive about the future. A report of the survey has just been published in the ‘Resources’ section of the Vet Futures website1 and indicates that, for 59 per cent of the respondents, the ‘glass was half full’ (that is, they felt fairly optimistic or very optimistic about the future), while 41 per cent were more pessimistic or unsure. At the same time, the survey report points out, younger vets were disproportionately represented among those feeling some disappointment about the way their career was progressing. As younger vets represent the future of the profession, this has to be of concern.
