Veterinary Practice News Canada’s Post

Tech Talk By Jamie Rauscher, LVT: Utilization is not just a buzzword ‼️There are benefits to building a productive and satisfied team at all levels. "The most popular topic in our industry this past year has been—by far—technician utilization. There have been numerous articles and lectures on this topic. When we delve into the subject, we try to bring attention to the topic regarding how our profession got into this situation, as well as what can be done to rectify it. The struggle of getting practices to utilize their credentialed veterinary technicians is one that has been going on for decades. The staffing shortage brought this to the forefront of people’s minds again, partly in relation to the pandemic."

🐈 Why open a cat-only veterinary clinic? "Because cats are the best, obviously," says Dr. Ellie Lee, cofounder of Manchester Cat Clinic in Manchester, UK. 📹 In our video, Dr. Ellie shares a bit about her veterinary journey, including how the clinic came to occupy the oldest veterinary premises in their city. 💪 Plus, she talks about how Provet Cloud’s features and integrations (like Digital Practice!) are saving her and her team “loads of time” every day.

Three foreign body ingestions, two skunked dogs, and one broken leg in addition to scheduled appointments and the thing that stopped me in my tracks today was a canned message on this platform. I received an email from a corporate veterinary practice interested in hiring DVMs and offering a $250,000 signing bonus. This is the thing that sucked the wind from my sails. How long can private practice compete with this? For the moment, private practices have unique benefits but eventually deep corporate pockets will be able to match and exceed these. I still believe that there is something beautiful and crucial to the way our private practices function - with all its connections, passion, and imperfections. I just don't know if the world will save space for what we offer. Private practices tether us to our origins and embody the essence of what makes the veterinary world....well...a badass, rise-to-the-challenge, roll with the punches, full of heart kind of profession. What do you think? #veterinary #veterinarymedicine #corporate #signingbonus #privatepractice #smallbusinessowner

"Practice good medicine, and the commercial component will take care of itself." Gary Turnbull BVSc (Hons) CMAVA From: Episode 110 on The Vet Vault To me, the money is one of the hardest parts of being a vet, and I don’t think I’m alone.  It’s yin and yang: I value my skills and experience, I want to earn a good living, and I understand the economics of vet practice as a business. And yet… we also really just want to take care of animals, right. This is why I loved my conversation with Dr Gary Turnbull, where we talked honestly about money in the vet world - charging it, estimating, and earning it. So, do you agree with Gary’s statement? Does simply practicing good medicine take care of the $$? The Vet Vault #veterinarymedicine #veterinarycare #vetbusiness Lincoln Institute of Veterinary Business

" Keep your focus! Whether in veterinary practice or any other field, it's easy to get distracted by what others are doing. But remember, staying in your lane and nurturing your unique strengths is key to success. In major city centers, we observe numerous veterinary hospitals emerging near each other. We've noticed practice owners becoming distracted by competitors' offerings or actions, when their energy could be better spent on their practice, enhancing what they wish to portray. ❗ You may not appeal to everyone, but you'll be a perfect fit for someone❗ Stay focused on showcasing your uniqueness and what you truly enjoy offering. Don't be swayed by the bright lights around you; instead, invest your energy in perfecting your craft and offering what makes you special. Stay true to yourself and keep shining! 💫 #StayFocused #BeUnique #ShineBright #veterinarycare #veterinaryownership #veterinary

As veterinary professionals, we all know the bittersweet moments that come with the job. That's why it's important to find comfort and humor wherever we can. I love spotting punny and snarky stickers, posters and paraphernalia around the hospital - it always brings a smile to my face. It's not that we don't take things seriously, it's just a little reminder to find joy in the tough times. Have you spotted any fun items around your workplace?
