Ultralink allows practices to monitor performance in real time 

An innovative new product for monitoring practice performance in real-time has been launched by AT Veterinary Systems.

Ultralink was introduced at BSAVA Congress last week (7-9 April) and promises to revolutionise the way performance data is monitored.

AT Veterinary Systems supports modern veterinary practices through the provision of state-of-the-art software. Its latest offering analyses practice data in real-time and produces live reports, allowing practices to constantly monitor their performance, respond to unforeseen challenges and proactively manage their service levels, efficiency, clinical performance and health care protocols.

Ultralink comes preloaded with a range of reports that can be amended or customised, and new reports can also be created. Integration with AT’s Spectrum DDS software allows reporting in areas such as sales, stock, appointments, microchipping, pet health parameters, reminders and insurance claims.

With over 35 methods of inputting, interacting with, processing and outputting data, Ultralink allows for an unlimited number of unique reports to be created. As a result, practices can make immediate changes to improve their performance.

Practices urged to audit neutering data

News Story 1
 RCVS Knowledge has called on vet practices to audit their post-operative neutering outcomes.

It follows the release of the 2024 NASAN benchmarking report, which collates data from neutering procedures performed on dogs, cats and rabbits.

The benchmarking report enables practices in the UK and Ireland to compare their post-operative outcomes to the national average. This includes the rate of patients lost to follow-up, which in 2024 increased to 23 per cent.

Anyone from the practice can submit the data using a free template. The deadline for next report is February 2026.

Visit the RCVS Knowledge website to complete an audit.

RCVS pays tribute to well-loved equine vet

The RCVS and the Riding Establishments Subcommittee has paid tribute to well-loved veterinary surgeon and riding establishment inspector, Rebecca Hamilton-Fletcher MRCVS.

Linda Belton MRCVS, RCVS President, said: "I, along with my colleagues on the RESC, RCVS Council, RCVS Standards Committee, as well as RCVS staff, was very saddened to hear of the sudden death of Rebecca, or Becca as we knew her, last week.

"She was a true advocate for equine welfare and in her many years on the RESC worked to continually improve the quality and consistency of riding establishment inspections, all in the interests of enhanced horse welfare and rider safety."
