Empowering Equine Vet Support Staff: Merck’s LegUp Program

20th January 2025

Merck Animal Health has rolled out its innovative LegUp Program to support equine veterinary support staff facing unique industry challenges. Designed to bridge communication gaps and enhance skill utilisation, this initiative is quickly earning praise from participants for its focus on professional and personal growth. By fostering connections and addressing real-world hurdles, the LegUp Program is poised to make a significant impact on the equine veterinary landscape.

In the demanding environment of equine veterinary practices, technicians and support staff are vital yet often underappreciated. Merck Animal Health, recognising this, developed the LegUp Program to empower these unsung heroes. The initiative combines educational modules with small-group discussions, allowing participants to learn and exchange ideas with peers, enhancing their sense of community and belonging, which can be scarce in the isolating equine field. Unlike traditional programs that focus solely on technical skills, LegUp emphasises personal development, covering topics like practice culture, communication, and personal finance. This holistic approach equips staff with tools to elevate their roles in practice operations and personal life, promoting well-rounded growth.

Merck Animal Health’s LegUp Program offers a fresh take on empowering equine veterinary support staff, combining skill-building with personal development. By prioritising community and addressing real-world challenges, it prepares participants to thrive in their careers and personal pursuits, setting a new standard in the industry. As the program garners positive feedback, it underscores Merck’s commitment to nurturing the backbone of equine practices and fostering a brighter future for veterinary teams.
