The Federation of Independent Veterinary Practices (FIVP) represents the interests and promotes the values of independent veterinary practices.
Membership is practice based and open to all independent veterinary practices in the UK.
We consider an independent practice to be one in which the owners work within the practice and play a significant role in its day-to-day activities.
