First Episode with Dr Helen Beattie

In today’s chat Helen talks about:

Some of her “team” & “people” highlights vs things she’s achieved.

The privilege of having “thinking time” that you don’t get in clinical practice.

The opportunity to be exposed to amazing minds and people that vets in clinic don’t get.

What would “Old Helen” say to “Young Helen” – I asked Helen what tips she’d give to herself today as a freshly graduated vet.

Her personal principles – she’ll never compromise or sell out.

Tension and conflict – the importance of this.

Communication – ever critical.

Human behaviour change

Bipolar language and the The power of language

Helen talks about how cycling gives her thinking space and time:  her clearinghouse

Working as a locum in the UK and the prevalence of specialists just around the corner.

Her desire for kiwi fur baby parents to invest in pet insurance for comfort and security.

Moral distress – a lowlight for most vets in their veterinary career.

VetStaff does more than recruitment

With NZs borders opening up, VetStaff has upped the ante on its international marketing campaigns again.

Unless you run a VPN it’s unlikely you’ll see what we’re up to because they’re running in the Northern Hemisphere.

We’ve targeted just about every country there’s a veterinary science degree that’s recognised by the NZVC for full registration.

If you’d like to benefit from these campaigns get in touch because clinics that are registered with us exclusively get first dibs on interviewing these vets after we’ve done all their interviews and background checks.
