BVHA Council generally meets twice a year to discuss matters of
interest to the Association. Council plans the various BVHA meetings and
activities and also collates views for presentation to BVA council on other
matters. Council is also intimately involved in the creation and revision of
the Hospital standards. Council also helps to develop and approve various
marketing items to assist member Hospitals in the promotion of their services.
The Council meetings also provide opportunities for "Plan Reviews" where
projected veterinary developments (not necessarily of Hospital standard) are
discussed and advice given.
If you would be interested in helping with the organisation of
the BVHA and serving on Council, please contact the
Secretariat,
or
President.

Having
worked in mixed practice for 12 years, back problems meant giving up the
clinical job and moving into management. The practice grew from four to 12-vet
mixed practice, and also developed referral work for local practices. The
practice has now been "rationalised" and I am now co-director of a 6-vet Small
Animal Hospital and Partner in a multi-discipline Referral Practice.
