Zoetis' Moving Up CPD Skyrockets

Fiona Sims presenting Moving from a purely clinical role to management can be daunting, particularly for those who are promoted within their practice and then find themselves managing their peers. With this in mind Zoetis recently ran a CPD course, as part of the company’s collaboration with the SPVS / VPMA practice management programme, with the aim of giving a structured introduction to some key leadership and management techniques. Aimed at vets, nurses and practice managers who have recently progressed to manage people or are aspiring to do so, as well as existing vets, head nurses or practice managers wanting to polish up their management and leadership skills, the course was very interactive with various role-specific case studies and scenarios. Fiona Sims, one of the Zoetis business consultants who delivered the CPD comments: “We knew from the work we do with veterinary practices that this type of training would be in demand, but we were overwhelmed by the response we received to the extent that we had to cap the numbers. “As a result of this demand and the feedback we received from the CPD day, we will be repeating it on 5th November, so any vets, nurses or practice managers looking for management and leadership training should contact SPVS / VPMA to book their place.”
