New initiative to boost client care

Cx Club hopes to boost learning resources for veterinary customer care teams.
Onswitch announce the launch of Cx Club

In a bid to improve learning resources for customer care teams in the veterinary sector, Onswitch has launched a new initiative - Cx Club.

The resource is available to anyone working in customer experience and aims to boost the client care offered by veterinary practices.

Onswitch managing director Alison Lambert said: "Whilst customer care is now receiving more focus from enlightened practices and managers, the provision of learning resources for the customer care team still lags far behind clinical CPD.

"For a service industry, the veterinary sector has been very slow to acknowledge the importance of providing a great service to our paying clients."

The company will hold the first Cx Congress this June, welcoming customer care teams from equine and small animal primary and referral practices.

Alison says the one-day event will bring together experts and customer care teams for the first time, allowing them to share best practice and learn from the provision of customer services in other sectors.

For more information, visit www.cxclub.care or www.onswitch.co.uk.

Bluetongue reaches Wales for first time in 2025

The Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) has revealed that bluetongue has been confirmed in Wales for the first time in 2025.

In their latest statistics, APHA records a total of 109 cases of BTV-3 or BTV-8 in Great Britain in the 2025-2026 vector season.

The total number of BTV-3 cases in Great Britain this season is 107. This includes 103 cases within the England restricted zone and four cases in Wales.

There has also been two cases of BTV-8, which were both in Cornwall.

As a result of the cases in Wales, a Temporary Control Zone (TCZ) is enforced in Monmouthshire. Animals can move freely under general license within the England Restricted Zone, however animals with suspected bluetongue must stay on their holding.

All premises testing positive for blue tongue can be viewed on this map.
