FIVP attending London Vet Show 2024
FIVP will be at stand S05 from 14-15 November.
The Federation of Independent Veterinary Practices (FIVP) is to attend this year’s London Vet Show from 14-15 November.
The group will be at stand S05, where it will be discussing the work it does to support independent veterinary practices.
Founded in 2016, FIVP is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to representing the interests and promoting the values of independent practices. It offers membership to independent practices across the UK, as well as individual membership to veterinary professionals.
When the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) launched its investigation into the veterinary sector, FIVP soon became closely involved with representing independent practices in their discussions. Its members are encouraged to share their opinions and experiences to ensure they are given a voice.
The organisation offers additional services to practices, including recruitment, promotion and an online community where independent practices can network.
It also hosts its own bi-weekly podcast, FIVP Practice Matters, which seeks to share the latest veterinary stories as well as news from independent practices.
Rita Dingwall, business development manager, will be attending the event to explain the work that FIVP has been doing to represent independent practices in the CMA investigation. She will be sharing some of the achievements of FIVP’s member practices and encouraging new members to join its community.
It will also be an opportunity for new and experienced veterinary surgeons and nurses to learn more about the latest career opportunities within independent practices.
On the Thursday, FIVP member Steve Carter will be at the stand, where he will be explaining how veterinary surgeons and nurses can achieve their practice ownership goals.
Ms Dingwall said: “We are delighted to be attending the London Vet Show once again to engage with fellow professionals and share the success stories of our members.
“It’s a wonderful opportunity to discuss our representation in the CMA enquiry and connect with like-minded individuals who share our passion for independent practice.”
This year’s London Vet Show will be taking place at ExCeL London from 14-15 November. Tickets can be bought here.
