Description

Nurses have a vital role to play in the veterinary practice, in the advice of clients, diagnostics work and preventative healthcare. For a nurse with a keen interest in consulting this is an ideal opportunity in which they can pursue the specialism that interests them, whilst still being of use to the veterinary practice. Veterinary practices are businesses and nurses that consult need to perform sufficient work in order to not only make a profit but also over their costs and overheads. This isn’t necessarily through the charging for nurse clinics, but through products sold, increasing the footfall through the practice and helping with client loyalty and most importantly compliance.
