Our friends at VetPrac celebrated their 10 year anniversary earlier this week.

From an email I received during the week from founder, Dr Ilana Mendels:
"When VetPrac started over 10 years ago, it was a dream to solve a problem and give hope to me and my friends in practice. Disillusioned by the repetitive nature of general practice when your skills plateau, we wanted a way to keep reaching, keep growing. VetPrac was born out of necessity and grew into what you see today because you wanted it."

I've always been a big fan of Ilana's vision for VetPrac. I like the way she does things a little differently and the way that the quality of the training is never compromised.

May the next 10 years be just as inspiring!

Why the Word "CHANGE" is so SCARY- And a Suggested CHANGE to that.

By Nancy Friedman (The Telephone Doctor)

This short, sharp blog post suggests a very simple yet effective idea.

Most of your team (and possibly yourself) probably hate the word "change". It can be frightening because of the unknown and uncertainty that can accompany any change.

"But what if you could make the word better?"

"You can - simply replace the word "change" with a more positive, rewarding word:
IMPROVEMENT"

Just consider the difference between these 2 statements:
"I'd like to make some changes around here!"..and...
"I'd like to make some improvements around here!"

Which one would you prefer?

Monday 10.09.2018: Brushing your pet's teeth should take 1-2 minutes at most, as overbrushing can cause enamel damage.
Tuesday 11.09.2018: You can’t assume everyone is aware of your lifelong love for animals and their wellbeing. If you haven’t told them and it’s not obvious in every part of your business and every piece of your marketing, then they probably don’t know.
Wednesday 12.09.2018: The goal is for pets with cancer to receive the best care possible when they aren’t referred to a specialist oncologist. I hope that our service relieves some of the pressure on general practice vets by providing up to date treatment options and support for oncology patients.
Thursday 13.09.2018: Feel powerless in aspects of your job? Writing a veterinary blog post may help to give back some power.
Friday 14.09.2018: Clients now have access to so much information at their fingers tips but they still need our expertise and education to help them decipher what is right for their pet, even though our advice may not always agree with what their ‘research’ has shown.
