Description
This practical book brings together all of the non-clinical ways in which a veterinary practice can become more successful. It provides a useful source of information for the new or recent graduate setting up a practice for the first time. It also provides a general refresher for the more senior veterinary surgeon, helping them to run their practice more efficiently and providing advice on partnerships and practice valuations. In addition, the book should be a useful reference for the growing band of practice managers and other professionals, such as accountants, solicitors, bank managers and insurance brokers who advise veterinary practices as it sets out clearly the business aspects of practice and methods of expansion. This book should be available in every practice as reading for vets, nurses and receptionists.
