The Veterinary Practice Management Association is running a CPD event on how practice managers can update their marketing strategies and use social media to their advantage.

VPMA's next regional meeting on September 27th will centre on the best use of social media websites, such as Facebook and Twitter, in order to boost practice footfall and owner bonding.

Helen Kingston, the VPMA events organiser, described social media as "the new form of marketing for practices." She added: "We can learn a lot more about using it well and to our advantage."

The guest speaker of the meeting will be David Ross, who works for an online marketing solutions company. He will talk through the process of setting up accounts on Facebook and Twitter and utilising them as online marketing tools.

The meeting is open to all interested practitioners and practice managers and will take place at Oaksey House in Lambourne on 27th September, starting at 2pm.
