This study aims to understand animal\u2010related injury rates, injury context and mechanisms, attitudes to reporting injuries, and resultant behaviour among UK and Irish veterinary students.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A survey was distributed to students across all veterinary schools operating in the UK and Ireland in 2021. Questions explored participants\u2019 experience of injury through asking about their most recent and most severe injuries via quantitative and free\u2010text questions. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, logistic regression and qualitative content analysis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Five hundred thirty\u2010three responses were included in the analyses. Overall, 47.5% of the students reported having been injured by an animal during the veterinary degree, and 35.5% of the students reported being injured within the last 12 months. Most recent injuries were caused by companion animals (38.0%), livestock (37.6%) and equids (23.5%). For their most severe injuries, 48.7% involved livestock, 28.7% companion animals and 22.1% equids. The content analysis highlighted that students normalised injuries and infrequently reported injuries to the university. It was very rare for students to take time off from their studies or placements due to course pressures.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>These findings reflect concerningly high levels of injury, which are being under\u2010reported and reflect a culture of injury acceptance and expectation among students. Veterinary schools should consider lessons learned in other work environments that have been successful in changing safety culture.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/vro2.70041","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,11]],"date-time":"2026-07-11T04:58:27Z","timestamp":1783745907000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["\u2018Grinning and bearing it\u2019\u2014A survey study exploring animal\u2010related injuries in UK and Irish veterinary students"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Tamzin","family":"Furtado","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Livestock and One Health, Institute of Infection, Veterinary, and Ecological Sciences University of Liverpool  Liverpool UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lois","family":"Kennedy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Veterinary Science, Institute of Infection, Veterinary, and Ecological Sciences University of Liverpool  Liverpool UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gina","family":"Pinchbeck","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Livestock and One Health, Institute of Infection, Veterinary, and Ecological Sciences University of Liverpool  Liverpool UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2150-0090","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"John S.
