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.
Veterinary practices are being urged to help owners safely dispose of any unused and expired pet medicines - not just antibiotics - during November's Animal Medicines Amnesty.
