Call For Farm Vets to Complete VDC Survey
The Veterinary Development Council has joined forces with the BVA to organise an online poll in order to identify the different types of business models used within large animal practices across the UK.
The VDC is charged with investigating the future of farm animal practice and its working group is headed by John Fishwick, the president of the BCVA.
He described the aim of the survey as aiming to get a "snapshot of the types of large animal practices that are out there in the UK - the plan is to then get a report together summarising the types of practice and their possible advantages and disadvantages."
The survey should take between 10 and 20 minutes. Questions include the proportion of practice turnover generated by private and Government work, as well as management models and out-of-hours cover.
Professor Fishwick urged vets to get involved, saying: "We're really anxious for as many practices to participate as possible."

The RCVS has announced a new version of its 1CPD mobile app, with enhanced features for veterinary surgeons and veterinary nurses to record their continuing professional development.
