Last month, Head of the VCMS Jennie Jones and VCMS Resolution Manager Janet Hulse attended Europe’s largest non-clinical veterinary SPVS-VMG Congress 2022. In today’s blog we share their experiences at the event.
With an inclusive and diverse membership spanning all clinical and non-clinical veterinary roles, the VMG aims to inspire and empower veterinary leaders and their organisations to learn, share, and grow. It also advocates on their behalf within the industry and beyond. This year, more than 800 delegates, speakers and exhibitors attended the ICC Wales in Newport from 13 – 14 May, which returned to the in-person format after last year’s event was held online due to coronavirus restrictions. Enabling face-to-face dialogues to be established, the delegates enjoyed a mix of speakers old and new at the event at ICC Wales.
The event was officially opened by firefighter, psychologist and writer Sabrina Cohen-Hatton, who gave a truly moving opening address. Jennie and Janet were delighted to be able to deliver a workshop in the ‘New to Management’ stream of lectures. Their presentation on Effective Complaint Management was well received by the 150 delegates that attended, and provoked lively interaction amongst the groups.
On the congress, Janet says, “It was great opportunity to have meaningful CPD with a varied and interesting content”
In addition to five non-clinical lecture streams and interactive workshops, the weekend featured the chance to meet with a wide range of suppliers and other networking opportunities.
The attendance highlighted the VCMS commitment to assisting veterinary professionals and our desire to meet professionals from a variety of roles and backgrounds. The VCMS continues to build its robust training program and interact with the industry to improve complaints procedure and industry standards.
