21 Jun 2022
The third and final episode with Iain McLachlan – CEO of the New Zealand Veterinary Council.We talk about:the veterinary shortage, the nursing shortage, why the NZ VC doesn’t include two of the world’s top 10 veterinary science universities in its List of Recognised Institutions, when it's going to update that list of Recognised Institutions, what clinics can do if they absolutely cannot manage their after-hours obligations, and what “limited registration” means.Today Iain and I talk about:How VCNZ is helping kiwi vet clinics employ vets whose overseas qualifications aren’t recognised here.How VCNZ is supporting NZ clinics get more vets working under what’s known here as Limited Scope Registration.What needs to happen for allied veterinary professionals and VNs to be able to do more in-clinic that helps free up Registered Veterinarians so they can do more of the work that legally, they’re the only ones who can do whatever it is. He explains what VNs and Techs can legally do in NZ now.We talk about consumer education and who can do what to help with that – especially around the expectation / perception of fees. He talks about what VCNZ does and what its “job” is.And then we wrap up with what Iain’s been doing as a way to manage his mental health and stress levels. Tune in to hear about the last development and changes taking place at VetStaff. And just in case you didn't know: there are two basic beliefs everyone at VetStaff has and which underpin everything we do – and that is we believe that all veterinary professionals deserve to work in a job of their dreams where they’re valued and respected andwe also believe that all veterinary employers of choice deserve to have the best staff – ones who’re engaged, committed and are excited about going to work each day.VetStaffleading veterinary sector recruitment in New Zealand | veterinarians | locums | nursesDisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.
