VPMA forum to open up
The Veterinary Practice Managers Association (VPMA) has announced that it will be opening its active online forum, which was previously private, up to the wider veterinary profession to allow a greater number of people join in on the discussions. A great success in recent years, the forum allows like-minded individuals to network, share ideas, and discuss common problems.
Commenting, VPMA President Pauline Graham said “Practice management is becoming an increasingly challenging role. As a consequence, our members are getting real value from the opportunity to discuss issues, ask advice, seek recommendations and read about the problems faced by others in similar situations. A problem shared is a problem halved; we feel that by inviting the rest of the vet community to participate in our forum, we can give even greater value to our existing members and also offer this fantastic facility to others outside our Association.”
If you too are facing the challenges of practice management and would like to stay in touch with others who can support and help you in your role, then please log onto www.vetpol.co.uk and go to the VPMA forum, where you can ask questions, share your views or simply observe.
Two independent vets have launched a podcast to help owners strengthen their bond with pets. Dr Maggie Roberts and Dr Vanessa Howie, who have worked in both veterinary practice and major charities, are keen to use their experience to enable people to give pets a better life.
