Our Background
VetQOL is an independent business with founders who have worked in the UK veterinary profession for several years. Experience includes working in first opinion, charity, university and referral hospital settings - everything from hands-on clinical work to people management, practice ownership, administration, HR, H&S, marketing and accreditation.
​​
VetQOL was established in order to share news with the veterinary community about living and working in Scotland, and to use our extensive practical experience to provide support for veterinary practice management.
Supporting Practice Management
We've got extensive practical managerial and administrative experience covering just about anything you might encounter in veterinary practice. This includes recruitment, clinical protocols, health and safety policies and documents, and staff policies and procedures. Our clinical backgrounds mean we understand the workplace and business priorities.
​
Our key support services include sharing your vacancies and CPD events and providing direct administrative support. We also provide a comprehensive list of suppliers, organisations and services which are useful for those working in UK veterinary practices.
​
We can assist you with accreditation processes such as the RCVS Practice Standards Scheme (PSS), ISFM Cat Friendly Clinic or VMD inspections.
​
PSS accreditation isn’t for everyone but we've found it provides a very useful checklist to ensure compliance with legislation, code of professional conduct and best practice. It's also increasingly being seen in job adverts for vets and VNs so it may be a useful recruitment tool for practices.
​
The biggest challenge is finding the time to put everything in place. That’s where we can help. We have experience in leading and successfully achieving PSS accreditation and re-accreditation for university hospitals (small animal and equine), a small animal specialist hospital, and farm general practice.
​
We can provide as much or as little support as you require - if you need just a single document or protocol, we're happy to help.
