The Benefits of Membership
The Association holds an annual conference, an annual management day and practice management seminars at other veterinary association meetings; organises regional management groups and meetings and has an active eGroup, a communication network through which members can exchange information, ideas and experiences.
The association journal, Veterinary Management for Today, is the leading management journal for the profession and together with our fact sheets and website provides members with information on all aspects of management.
Free online legal support is available exclusively to members from rhw Solicitors. Further and exclusive discounts are available on practice legal fees through Rickerbys. Information on this and a range of other benefits including discounts on insurance services, credit card processing, textbooks and private health care is available under the Members Services tab.
Members are eligible to undertake the association’s qualifications. The Certificate in Veterinary Practice Management (CVPM) is designed to be immediately relevant to managers and employers in general practice and to indicate that the successful candidate has the appropriate knowledge, experience and expertise to manage a practice. It is the only peer-reviewed qualification in veterinary practice management in the UK. The Veterinary Practice Administration Certificate (VPAC) is designed to cover the skills required to carry out administrative tasks efficiently with the minimum of supervision and to be able to present the finished task to the supervisor, manager or employer.
