Ep035 – FIVP Practice Matters: Veterinary Client Mediation

PRACTICE MATTERS Federation of Independent Veterinary Practices

No matter how things may run in general practice, from time-to-time there will be issues around price, service or treatment. These can, with a little in-house mediation, be resolved most of the time. But…if there’s an impasse, what happens next?

JENNIE JONES, Head of the Veterinary Client Mediation Service (VCMS), joins Ian Wolstenholme for an overview of their services and how their independent impartial advice can help smooth troubled waters. Jennie shares how mediation can benefit both the client and your practice – resolving disputes while protecting your practice’s reputation as much as possible.
