VPMA Throws Open Its Doors…!

As with other groups, one of the main advantages of being a member of the Veterinary Practice Managers Association (VPMA) is the opportunity to network with like-minded individuals. And the VPMA recognises the importance of this activity so takes things one step further… In addition to a bustling Annual Congress and various regional CPD events, the VPMA has an active online forum where members can contact one another at any time to share ideas, problems and resources; this has been a great success in recent years. So much so, that the Association has now made the big decision to throw open the doors of its once-private forum and invite other members of the veterinary community to join in on the discussions. “Practice management is becoming an increasingly challenging role” says Pauline Graham, VPMA President. “As a consequence, our members are getting real value from the opportunity to discuss issues, ask advice, seek recommendations and read about the problems faced by others in similar situations. A problem shared is a problem halved; we feel that by inviting the rest of the vet community to participate in our forum, we can give even greater value to our existing members and also offer this fantastic facility to others outside our Association”. So, if you too are facing the challenges of practice management and would like to stay in touch with others who can support and help you in your role, then please log onto www.vetpol.co.uk and go to the VPMA forum, where you can ask questions, share your views or simply observe.
