Returning to work after maternity

Returning to work after having children can be fulfilling and rewarding, but it certainly isn’t easy. The on-call rota, the unpredictable nature of veterinary work and inflexibility of some bosses, as well as the demands you put on yourself, can make it seem an impossible task at times.

Work moves on, drugs, people and procedures may change and you too may not be the same person that left to go on maternity leave. However, by making small changes, you can successfully combine your work and family lives.
