Management shorts from vetcommunity.com
Vet Community
Each Management short comes in the form of a downloadable PDF.
Providing information about the everyday management of veterinary practice

It's great to read full length informative articles but sometimes we just need quick reference material often just as a reminder of what we need to be doing.

Management shorts have been written for just this purpose. They provide the manager with quick basic information about the everyday management of a veterinary practice, covering all the different areas the manager may need to to deal with on a regular basis.

Each Management short comes in the form of a downloadable PDF and can be found in the Practice Management Zone of Vet Community where a new 'short' will be added each week.

BBC Radio 4 documentary addresses corporate fees

BBC Radio 4's File on 4 Investigates has released a documentary exploring how corporate-owned veterinary practices may be inflating bills to increase profit.

Released on 15 April, 'What's Happening To Your Vet Bills?' revealed the policies which many corporate groups have in place to increase their profits. This included targets and upgrades which veterinary teams are tasked with meeting on a regular basis.

It also features Anrich Vets, an independently-owned practice based in Wigan. Following the case of Staffordshire terrier Benjy, who is diagnosed with a tumour, the documentary shares how the team were able to offer contextualised care and advice to make the procedure as affordable as possible for his owners.

The documentary can be heard on demand on BBC iPlayer.
