Think Tank
One of the great strengths of the Vetsure Network is collaboration. This is never more evident than at our annual Think Tank events for management CPD, discussing hot topics of the day and networking.

Veterinary practices face enormous challenges in the years ahead and finding the solutions may mean completely challenging our existing veterinary business models and ways of thinking. To help achieve this objective, we invite Principals, Practice Managers and other key team members to join us at our regular ‘Think Tank’ events, both for small and large animal practices. We aim to have challenging, engaging discussions around the topics affecting independent practice today.
In previous events we’ve held discussions as varied as: business restructuring and succession planning, coping with resource shortages, protecting employee mental health and stock shortage challenges. However, this is just a snapshot of the wide range of subjects that Think Tank tackles, with the end goal of collaborating to affect sustainable change and drive growth within the independent vet practice sector.
With owners and senior managers of established practices, and vets newly starting up, the 2021 Vetsure Think Tank set the industry scene: highlighting recent changes in the veterinary business marketplace, explaining the benefits of continued business structure planning, and challenging the paradigms that practice owners often operate within. Set in Shropshire’s Hoar Cross Hall, this Think Tank also explored the ways that business partners can have difficult conversations with one another.
Our most recent Small Animal Think Tank, set in the picturesque Moor Hall Hotel and Spa, was fully booked out with independent veterinary practice owners and managers! In the wake of some serious disruption across the veterinary industry, we took this opportunity to look at the ways in which Vetsure, and our network members, could focus on their business structure and ensure that it is flexible and attractive enough for future shareholders – not only to ensure succession but also to drive growth.
Farm Animal and Equine Buysure members gathered at the Hawkstone Park Hotel and Spa for 24 hours dedicated to assessing the progress of the group and future-proofing our businesses. Alongside engaging presentations by sponsors Boehringer and Norbrook, there were a selection of equine specific and farm animal specific talks and a workshop took place to get veterinary business owners thinking about the ways they could shape their veterinary practice for the future.
