PRACTICE MATTERS Federation of Independent Veterinary Practices

We return to SPVS Congress 2025 for this latest edition of the podcast and find out about Employee Owned Trusts with two practices who have approached things from different angles. Heart Vets Cardiology Referrals‘ DAVE DICKSON and JOANNE HARRIS, together with Pennard Vets‘ CEO MATT FLANN help to de-mystify this growth area.

With the increase in new independent startup businesses, TRACEY MORBEY and STUART JEEVES from PetPlan explain how the provision of pet insurance arrangement for a new practice can sometimes be a last minute scramble and some of the things to consider in its implementation in the new business.
