Hi Member,

It's a HUGE edition this week...

You can't miss the Guest Blog Post from Jackie at LifeLearn all about 'Sofie' which is bringing cognitive computing to veterinary practices. And if you've just thought "huh - what the..?" then you definitely need to read it - it's a fascinating glimpse into the future.

We've got some great tips on working with difficult clients (thanks Deb), another quick, healthy, TASTY recipe that's perfect for winter (slow roasted lamb) and a great explanation from Ilana (VetPrac) as to why workshops in strange lands are good for you!

There are also some serious $ savings to be had if you take up the special EOFY offer from CCG. You'll save 40% off their range of ProSkills Short Courses if you join by 30 June 2015.

On the subject of training - Vet Education are presenting their 6th International Online Veterinary Conference from the 13 - 23 July. There are 16 LIVE online sessions with an amazing lineup of speakers from Australia, USA, UK and NZ. Definitely worth checking out.

This week we're also very pleased to welcome BVSC + The Animal Hospital to the Vetanswers Business Directory.

Finally - DO NOT skip Part 3 in the series of stress-hacks from dvm360. If you are stressed because there never seems to be enough hours in the day - the next 3 stress-hacks are for you.

Our aim is to help you - save time, connect & discover.

Enjoy your reading :)
