VN Uniform a ‘Fashion Classic’
The P785 tunic.
Some uniform styles come and go but Grahame Gardner’s P785 is displaying all the signs of enduring popularity associated with a classic style.  After being developed for the fashion focused Beauty Market, Grahame Gardner soon found interest for the tunic coming from the Veterinary Market – where it continues to be a hit!

The classic style boasts a mandarin style collar and side opening detail, with attractive pearl studs and a tri-button internal security feature.

Simon Ward, Sales Director comments on the ongoing success of this style: “We design new tunics throughout the year, but when the outlines for the P785 were put on the table we all recognised they were something special. The response from the Veterinary Market has been phenomenal and it has gone on to be one of our best sellers. What makes the P785 so popular is its broad appeal, it represents a more fashionable take on workwear, so is popular with all members of staff, yet it is also very smart and professional so the management also give it their seal of approval. Perhaps best of all, the cut and the length of the tunic mean that is a very flattering shape for all.”

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.
