  • "Working in Sweden under Scandinavian work culture was a truly life-changing experience. I appreciate the great support received from my team, especially highly skilled and trained nurses which were an irreplaceable help. I was finally able to deliver the level of veterinary care I always dreamt of and I am endlessly thankful for that experience. I am fulfilled and happy and waiting for another summer to come. If you love nature, beautiful architecture, sea, forests, mushroom-picking, biking, best vegan food and coffee - Sweden is just a place for you :)"

  • "The Veterinary profession is overwhelming and stressful but if done in a friendly and beautiful environment such as Sweden or other Scandinavian country, will make our job much more interesting and you will be amazed on how different could be our profession in different countries. You will not regret and will be the best experience of your professional life."

  • "What a fantastic experience, everyone was lovely and the clinic supportive. Working in Sweden is a complete contrast to the UK, yes there are busy days but there is certainly not the level of stress that I have experienced at home. A work-life balance is possible and does exist!"

  • "I have been dreaming about working in Norway since I was an adolescent. Not knowing anyone in the business didn’t make it easier when I tried to search for a position as a veterinarian. Then I found Hugo’s website and read his experience. He supported me and found me a place in one of the best veterinary clinic in Norway. My position from summer job suddenly became permanent and I have moved with my family to Norway. It’s a beautiful place for jobs and living."

  • "Without exception the staff and the clients of the clinic where I worked in Sweden were lovely. Of course the language makes it a little bit different to working in the UK but it’s not such a big problem as a nurse is assigned to work alongside each vet. Everyone is really welcoming and I was made to feel right at home very quickly. [...] I visited Sweden twice, the first time I drove there, the second time I flew. I would advise anyone considering working in Sweden to drive there (or hire a car) as you will see much more of the country that way."

  • "Any locum without absolutely having to be in the UK all the time should crack on and go to locum to Sweden for a wee while - great experience and an eye opener to see what an actual work/life balance is. Also great way to experience a bit different culture and explore a bit while getting decently paid too. Friendly people and good fun too."

  • I spend 4 months working in Sundsvall, Sweden, and had an amazing experience! Time has just flown by. When you work and live in a different country for a few months, you get enough time to really get to know the country, the people, their habits and in general their way of life. Although I worked full time, I had plenty of time off to go and explore. The Swedish nature is something I had never seen before. The people, both the locals and other locum staff, are so friendly and made me feel welcome and part of a team. [...] I would recommend it to everyone. It broadens your horizons and it will truly be an experience to never forget."
