Independent vets collaborate for Vetsure’s new ‘guide to practice success’

A new interactive ebook, How to Thrive as an Independent Vet Practice – A Vet’s Guide to Success, has been released, featuring the collaboration of independent practice owners and members of the Vetsure network. The guide is aimed at established practices, new start-ups and those who may be thinking about setting up a practice. It includes practical information, videos and first-hand advice from independent practice leaders who have already ‘successfully navigated the challenges of practice ownership and management’.

The guide, Vetsure says, tackles some of the key challenges faced by independent practices, drawing on the real-world experiences and collective wisdom of the Vetsure community; it offers a fresh, personal perspective on what it means to succeed, and stand out, in an increasingly competitive and evolving market.

Alongside themes such as purchasing, client experience and training, the guide features tips on recruiting and building a collaborative team from Diane Storer of Cockburn Vets, and Julie Hutton of Hilltop Vets shares her thoughts on leadership and addressing practice challenges. Other contributors to the guide include Vicki Farbon of Scott Veterinary Clinic, Kate Hornby of Wild Side Vets, Emily Nightingale of Nightingale Vets and Simon Hayes of Creature Comforts, who draw from their diverse experiences of founding and operating independent practices.

“The insights from successful independent practice owners and Vetsure network members included in the guide offer lessons from real experiences beyond generic business courses,” said Ashley Gray (pictured below), Vetsure’s managing director.

“The Vetsure network aims to support and champion independent veterinary practices by sharing knowledge and expertise, facilitating learning from fresh perspectives and ideas, and fostering genuine collaboration. The guide perfectly highlights how Vetsure can support independent practices, providing value to both new and seasoned owners – there is always something new to learn from a chat amongst veterinary professionals.”
