Who are
XLVets
?
XLVets is a group of independently-owned,
progressive veterinary practices that work
together to achieve the highest standards
of veterinary care.
Members of XLVets work collaboratively sharing
knowledge, experience and skills, to achieve excellence
in veterinary practice that ensures they deliver a high
level of customer care and animal welfare.
Founded in the UK in 2005, XLVets originated from a
group of dynamic predominantly farm animal biased
veterinary practices, all of whom worked hard to create
what they saw as a model of how individual practices
can work successfully in partnership. Following a period
of rapid growth, XLVets is increasingly being recognised
nationally as a 'quality mark' for veterinary care, not
only for livestock, but also in the fields of small animal
and equine care. XLVets is now recognised at a global
level, with a strong presence in the UK, Ireland and
New Zealand.
XLVets members aspire to be part of a successful global
community of veterinary networks. By providing a model
that supports collaborative working, members have the
opportunity to share ideas and learn new skills beyond
their regional and country boundaries. Through this
collaboration, XLVets members can link research projects
together, access the latest cutting-edge technologies and
share resource and expertise, with the long-term goal
of developing a truly global network of excellence in
veterinary practice.
No matter what country, the ethos of the XLVets
group is that business ownership, and therefore all
decision-making, is in the hands of the clinicians who
work within the practice. XLVets exists to ensure that its
member practices can leverage the advantages of scale
and process management that can be obtained with
bigger structures, but not to do this at the expense of
absolute control.
Our
Values
l
Generate cost-savings and improved business
efficiencies for member practices.
l
Raise brand awareness for individual vets, member
practices and the XLVets group.
l
Build a model for strong independent veterinary
owned and veterinary-led practices for the future.
XLVets members are actively encouraged to get involved and
shape the direction of the business and activities for the
group. Member executives are tasked with brainstorming
opportunities and challenges and they develop the strategy
for XLVets, working with the Board of Directors, that will
support member practices to flourish in an ever-changing
marketplace.
In order to deliver Excellence in Practice, XLVets practices
work with five strategic pillars;
Opposite are just a small number of activities that have
been developed within each pillar, each country will run
specific activities that support their practices. Many ideas
are generated by the member practices themselves, which
are developed and shaped into a package of support using
a combination of internal and external expertise.
