Clinical Board
The VetPartners Clinical Board supports the clinical teams working in our practices to progress our care to ensure the outcomes for our patients, clients and people are the best they can be.
It brings clinical communities together, across all species and disciplines, through our species boards and clinical interest groups, to harness clinical experience and expertise from our diverse group of practices.
The VetPartners Clinical Board delivers the clinical excellence strategy for VetPartners and ensures we meet the professional, legal and regulatory standards required.
The clinical board is a community of people from across the VetPartners family who are committed to helping us progress our clinical care. We are a diverse network which includes vets, vet nurses, vet techs, practice managers, lab team members and the rest of the practice team from across our practices.
Everyone is welcome to join the clinical board community to share experience and knowledge.
Please contact us at clinical.board@vetpartners.co.uk or visit our resources on the clinical board sections of VetPartners Learning.
