Boehringer mindfulness lounge
We all know that working as an equine vet can be deeply rewarding, but it also comes with its share of demands and stress. That’s why we invite you to take a few moments each day to pause, reflect, and prioritise your wellbeing.
Boehringer has created a dedicated Mindfulness Lounge & Quiet Space. Drop in for one of the sessions or simply enjoy a moment of calm in the quiet space. Together, let’s nurture a veterinary community that is inclusive, supportive, and truly sustainable.
