Breaking Bread and Beating Burnout with Mark Johnston

This week we’re joined by Mark Johnston, former equine anaesthetist, digital innovator, and mental health advocate. From his early years in Newmarket to leading research on anaesthetic risk, Mark talks openly about burnout, reflection, and rediscovering balance beyond the profession. We explore the evolution of Vetstream, his work supporting Ukrainian vets, and why self-awareness is as vital as clinical skill. Along the way, he shares lighter moments on bread-making, open questions, and how connection over conversation can change everything. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
