Registration Open for VPMA Congress!
VPMA urges early registration to avoid missing out on congress.

The Veterinary Practice Management Association (VPMA) is now taking registrations for its 2012 Congress, which will take place at Chesford Grange Hotel, a luxury hotel in Kenilworth, Warwickshire, from the 26th to 28th January 2012.

The Congress already promises to raise the high benchmark set last year, which broke all records and was fully booked. Early registration is accordingly advised for this year to avoid disappointment.

Hailed as Gold Standard management CPD, the event runs across three streams and delegates are free to attend the presentation that best meets their own personal training needs or addresses an issue relevant in their practice.

With an increasing number of overseas delegates attending the event, VPMA Congress can claim to be one of the foremost congresses in the world dedicated to practice management.

To registers and find out more about the Congress, visit the website.
