[QUOTE="Doc, post: 7078504, member: 71986"] Wages haven’t gone backwards really they just haven’t gone up much. The meat hygiene stuff used to be an ‘add on’ to a clinicians day. My practice used to do it (we still do product export work) the abattoirs were looking to cut costs, so the whole thing became corporate with Elville and Jones. It’s actually all quite complicated in its evolution and blaming one aspect, such as Corporate involvement is too simple. In clinical practice, corporates have only been significant players in the last 6-8 years. They are a symptom not the cause. Succession is a big problem and that is a mixture of partnership relationships, gender demographics, local competition, cost of equipment and facilities as well as poor returns to practice borrowing and also increasing student debt. The stressors of the employed clinical Vet are again much more than financial - client expectations, hours, the change to shift working and a growing part time workforce, increasing specialisation, client choice, student selection, education direction, the change in communications and access to information ( good and bad) and I can go on. The Veterinary press and members of all the various committees (RCVS, BVA etc) are in denial about it all. Rather than self examination they simply look to jump on any political band wagon. Suicide and mental health issues in the Vet profession are truly shocking. Maybe there are too many elephants in the room to address that they all get overlooked. In any case, I fear it’s all rather too late, the train of change has already left. Apologies for the rant. [/QUOTE]
