Employers' group

Abstract

Employers' group WE are writing to inform our professional colleagues of a new working group within the profession. The Major Employers Group comprises senior clinical leaders from the larger veterinary organisations that deliver care directly to the public. We meet regularly to discuss clinical and professional issues of mutual interest. Organisations that are welcome to join the group are those involved in providing first opinion veterinary services to the public on a wide regional or national, rather than a local geographical, basis, and which employ more than 60 veterinary surgeons and/or operate across 30 or more sites. The increasing number of veterinary professionals working as part of larger organisations brings both opportunities and challenges for our profession. Through this group we aim to develop, share and disseminate best practice relating to ensuring professional standards are embedded throughout larger organisations and to ensure the views of the larger organisations and the professionals they employ are represented to relevant stakeholders. No commercial matters are discussed. Our next meeting will be in March or April 2016. If you would like your organisation to be considered for membership, contact our current chair, Amanda Boag at
