Support
We all make mistakes, it is part of being human, and while there are a number of factors that may have made the mistake more likely, most people are highly likely to feel distressed about the situation. This can last for a considerable time, morphing and progressing to further problems relating to stress and how we feel about and do our work – we become a ‘second victim’.
VetSafe
We recognise how upsetting it can be to go through this and VetSafe is here for you. Through VetSafe, we aim to provide information and support if you are concerned or anxious following a clinical mistake and you will also find links to external organisations who provide advice and support to veterinary teams.
