Opening Your Own Veterinary Practice
This programme of two interactive workshops is ideal for anyone thinking about opening, or about to open their own practice.
It will help you focus your time, money and energy where they will make the most difference, and bring your plans successfully and profitably to life.
The first workshop is about clarification, both identifying and understanding your own priorities and then determining what demand there will be for your unique services. Topics covered will include:
- Balancing ambition and reality across work, family and life commitments
- Business plan – how to make one and why it matters
- Who will your customers be, and where are they?
- What is it about your mission, values and service that will compel clients to register with you ahead of your competitors?
Delegates then have homework to complete before the second workshop – researching their target catchment in order to determine:
- Likely client numbers and demographics
- Strengths and weaknesses of existing competitors
- Physical and commercial barriers and opportunities
In the second workshop we explore the remaining three aspects of the Balanced Scorecard (customers having been a focus of the first session):
- Team – how to recruit, develop and retain the right people
- Operational effectiveness – practical and logistical considerations for structuring your new business and setting SMART targets
- Finance – as a lag indicator, this is deliberately considered after all other factors, as getting them right will mean the key business numbers are right
Small group, maximum of 6 delegates – interactive style workshop.
Course fee £330 + VAT.
Been a very busy few weeks .. and very hot!
Team Onswitch have been in practices facilitating and training over the last few weeks … all over the world … a few photos attached and as always helping paws from the practice cat!
In practice team sessions work well and can be a really good way to help teams learn together
Post covid the options of Zoom workshops, online learning and in practice workshops means plenty of options to choose from to learn together as a team
So check out the info and we look forward to helping you soon

Alison has been in Bulgaria with Small Animal Vet colleagues from across Bulgaria
It’s great to meet and chat with folks who care for patients in other countries and we all learn something from this knowledge sharing
The local beer is very good and much needed after 4 hours of lectures about caring for people with pets to get to good patient outcomes
It’s also quite a bit warmer than the U.K. usually is !
So big thank you to the BASAV for the invitation and hospitality and thank you to the translators for making it possible
And thank you to BSAVA and WSAVA for enabling attendees to access the invaluable BSAVA Manuals on line…. Make sure you look at the Practice Management one - (needs a refresh Carole Clark and Marion Chapman !)

So it’s a been a busy few weeks for Team Onswitch
And we took a break from social space as quite frankly we had stuff to do!
The world has opened up and all the conferences and projects and research are all happening at the same time !
So here is a taster of the recent congresses from around the world
It’s been good to be face to face again and it has added to the virtual connections, so a new world of fusion learning and debate
Learning is now more accessible with online and remote formats, so made us think about what is the point of an attendance event?
Discussed today at the Proveto Utrecht Vet event - great fun as always
So if a speaker ( in this case Alison ) is actually there ,what is the reason to go and listen versus doing a webinar or online lecture ?
Our view is it’s about the stuff you didnt know you needed to know - the new thoughts, ideas and the deep meaningful and controversial stuff
Face to face means we can debate in a safe space those topics that are never in the webinars as you can’t get the deep connection to robustly debate issues
After all what’s the point of hearing the same stuff again and again and again
Face to face is more focussed and stimulates debate and questions
Well that’s our view … what’s yours?
Why attend an event at all?
