Alongside two clinical streams, SPVS are pleased to be hosting a third Leadership and Management stream, which will be of great value to any veterinary leader working in practice.
With two days of expert-led talks focusing on the significant touchpoints along the client journey and boosting practice profitability, this event is your passport to ensuring your business is ready to tackle the current challenges facing the profession. The event also gives a fantastic opportunity to network and connect with industry leaders and exhibitors, showcasing the latest veterinary products, services and advice.
Day 1 will follow the client journey, exploring the key touchpoints to add value in the changing veterinary landscape. As the CMA’s ongoing investigation into the veterinary sector raises important questions about transparency, pricing, and client trust, this event offers timely guidance and strategic insights for practice leaders.
Join us on Day 2 for a focused, practical event designed to empower veterinary professionals with the financial insights and tools needed to drive sustainable growth and profitability. The second day is designed to deepen understanding of veterinary finance, improve decision-making, and enhance practice performance, critical in today’s competitive landscape.
