The practice has also been able to see the
benefits of offering this additional service to
their clients. As David Mulligan, Parklands
Practice Manager, commented: 'This has been
a significant journey for the practice over the
past six months and, at times, a fairly eventful
one, but when you have had the opportunity
to speak to a large number of trainees who
have completed courses, engage in serious
dialogue with representatives from such
organisations as CAFRE, UFU and NIAPA
and see how it has built bonds between the
vets and clients, it has been a journey well
worth doing.'
With the groundwork done, Parklands is
now keen to keep the impetus going. Future
courses in DIY AI, Nutrition and Lameness
are already in the pipeline with many more
planned for 2012.
