It is not uncommon for those who are new to Veterinary Practice management to feel uncertain and confused about the various laws that apply to clinical practice.

The chances are that at some point this year (whether you’ve wanted to or not), you’ve stopped to at least consider AI (artificial intelligence that is not artificial insemination) and its place within veterinary medicine.

Pricing can often feel like a dirty word in veterinary. But have you ever stopped to consider the psychology of your pet owners and the way in which they select products to purchase for their pets or how they decide which services to sign up to?
