The qualitative data were analysed using conventional content analysis.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n The findings indicate adverse impacts of incivility, with organisational\u2010level implications for quitting, team dynamics and patient safety. Existing organisational\u2010level mitigation strategies included fostering civility, feedback sessions and education. Participating receptionists and students reportedly experienced more incivility than veterinarians and nurses. Equine veterinarians faced increased incivility at events and due to insurance implications. In teaching settings, participants highlighted the need for student\u2010based interventions.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Limitations<\/jats:title>\n The data are qualitative, making causality difficult to determine. Furthermore, the findings may not be more widely generalisable.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n Concerned veterinary practices are recommended to review their incivility management system and improve clarity of existing processes. Equine clinics may gain from providing personalised resources, while teaching hospitals may benefit from building psychological safety and modelling appropriate responses to incivility.<\/jats:p>\n
