Hi Member,

Two new blog posts this week. :)

The first is all about Our Pets Health - a website and supporting social media that provides pet owners with quality, veterinarian created information. It was launched in November 2017 by Dr Alex Avery who writes, produces and publishes all the content (blog posts, podcasts and social media posts)....AND he's still a practising veterinarian. I'm seriously impressed with what he has achieved so far & you can find out more in the blog post below.

We've probably all had experience with a friend, family member or colleague suffering from mental health problems, and sometimes it can be really challenging to know what to say. The last thing you want to do is say the wrong thing - but what's the right thing? This week, Guest Blogger Rosie Overfield provides a list of 10 things not to say and more importantly, 10 things that will help to support those who may be struggling.

Also this week, I have a favour to ask.....
I'm in the process of designing an advertising kit for veterinary suppliers who may be interested in joining our business directory and I realised that your opinion of our Community could be a great help. So if you like what we do I'd really appreciate hearing from you.

And of course, last but absolutely not least .... today is a very special day.

It's Vet Nurse Day!!!!

And I think the VNCA says it well:
"Vet Nurse Day provides an opportunity for the veterinary industry and vet practices to acknowledge the important role that vet nurses play within the veterinary medical team and reinforces the value and professionalism of veterinary nurses. Vet nurses are highly skilled, have ever increasing responsibilities and play a valuable role, whether in surgery, practice administration or consultations."

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

Enjoy your reading :)

Celebrating Vet Nurse Day 12 October 2018

"Veterinary nurses are celebrating Vet Nurse Day on Friday 12 October 2018. Vet Nurse Day provides an opportunity for the veterinary industry and vet practices to acknowledge the important role that vet nurses play within the veterinary medical team and reinforces the value and professionalism of veterinary nurses. Vet nurses are highly skilled, have ever increasing responsibilities and play a valuable role, whether in surgery, practice administration or consultations. Vet Nurse Day is also a time for grateful pet owners and the wider community to say ‘thank you’ to their local vet nurses for who they are, and what they do best."

How to Get Your Employees on the Same Page

By Monica Dixon Perry CVPM (Veterinary Management Consultation)

I thought this post asked an interesting question:

“How does a practice’s owner and manager get all of its employees on the same page?”‍

This can become especially difficult if your practice is growing, or if you've recently experienced some staff turnover.

So what do you need to achieve cohesion?
