How do you identify and/or determine what a good veterinary clinic looks like?

Today, UK-qualified New Zealand locum Companion Animal Veterinarian, Dr Paul Unsworth talks about and reflects on:

·       What determines a “good” vet

·       What determines a “good” clinic

·       Some of the “best” medical advances he’s seen over the course of his career

·       His favourite gadget?   [Hint:  it’s a type of endoscope – have you used this specific type of endoscope?]

·       Should vets specialise (lower case “s”) such that pet owners would then take their pets to different clinics according to the specialisation / interest of a clinic?   And………..

·       Pet Insurance – how to increase NZs take-up rate of pet insurance in kiwi clinics.
