Consultation launched on union of SPVS and VPMA
The Society of Practising Veterinary Surgeons have launched an initial consultation to gain feedback on the possibility of forming a new combined organisation with the Veterinary Practice Managers Association.
In light of the successful, close working relationship enjoyed by the two organisations over the past years - with a joint Congress coming up in January - as well as the constantly-evolving face of the veterinary profession, SPVS and VPMA are considering joining together to form a new organisation with a new name, reflecting the needs of all those who work in a leadership or managerial role in practice.
The feedback from the initial consultation on the potential new society, which could include, owners, managers, practising veterinary surgeons and senior nursing staff, will be discussed at the SPVS Council meeting in July.
All views are invited, whether in favour or against, and the deadline for responses is the 15th July 2012. Responses should be sent to office@spvs.org.uk.
A nationwide roadshow offering free, personalised parasite risk assessments and flea and tick checks will be visiting popular dog events across the UK.
