SUMMARY:Webinar: Calling all industry leaders!
DESCRIPTION:PLEASE NOTE – THIS WEBINAR IS FOR INDUSTRY ONLY \n\nAre you ready to make a real difference in the lives of South Africa’s veterinary community? \nJoin us for an exclusive webinar on Tuesday 21 May at 19h00-20h00\, where you’ll discover how you can play a key role in supporting SAVA’s mentorship program. \nFor over a century\, SAVA has been at the forefront of veterinary excellence\, adapting and innovating to meet the evolving needs of our profession to enhance animal and human health. Now\, more than ever\, our community faces unprecedented challenges with a real risk of collapse that will have dire consequences for the industry and production sectors. \nVeterinarians are leaving in alarming numbers\, and those who remain are grappling with overwhelming mental health pressures. \nSAVA’s mentorship program for vets in their Compulsory Community Service (CCS) year was launched in 2020 and has already made significant strides in enhancing clinical skills and improving mental health and well-being among this crucial group of young veterinarians. However\, to sustain and expand this program\, we need the support of all industries related to animal health. \nIn this webinar we will discuss:\n1. The dire state of veterinary services in South Africa.\n2. The critical pivotal role of veterinary services on the entire value chain.\n3. The mental health status of veterinarians\, and possible solutions.\n4. Successes since 2020 of the mentorship program.\n5. How industry can be involved in shaping the future of veterinary services. \nBy joining our webinar\, you’ll gain invaluable insights into the mentorship program’s impact\, uncover ways you can contribute\, and explore the benefits your business can reap by backing this vital initiative. \nDon’t miss out on this chance to be a driving force behind the future of veterinary care. \nRegister now and stand with us as we pave the way for brighter days ahead – for veterinarians\, para-veterinarians and the animal population of South Africa. \n\n\nGert Steyn\, Managing Director SAVA\nDr Paul van der Merwe\, President SAVA

SUMMARY:Webinar: One eye on the wheel; one eye on the dashboard
DESCRIPTION:To move your practice forward in an effective and efficient fashion you need to collect data and information that will help you to navigate towards the outcome you so desire. Your practice management software and accounting information can give you more information than you know what to do with. What numbers are most relevant? Where can you find them? How can you monitor them? What do they mean? And\, most importantly what impacts them and what to do when they indicate you are not on track? \nLearning Objectives: Identify key performance indicators; identify which ones of the many are most relevant; create a tracking dashboard; identify what impacts the KPIs and what you can do to address them. \nAbout our speaker \nDr Peter Weinstein \nDr Peter Weinstein is a husband\, father\, pet parent\, veterinarian and leader. \nHe has been involved with virtually all aspects of veterinary practice from a 15 year old kennel kid to a hospital owner. \nOrganized veterinary medicine has been a passion as well with various roles and leadership and presidencies of Southern California VMA\, California VMA\, and Vet Partners. \nHe is a published author\, most notably of the EMyth Veterinarian-Why Most Veterinary Practices Don’t Work and What to Do About It. \nCurrently\, he is teaching business and finance at the Veterinary College of Western University of Health Sciences. \nHe likes to think of himself as a free thinking change agent and disruptor who\, because he has a daughter in veterinary school\, is working for an even better veterinary profession in the future.

SUMMARY:20th Annual SASVEPM Congress
DESCRIPTION:The Southern African Society for Veterinary Epidemiology and Preventive Medicine is pleased to announce the 20th Annual Congress that will be held from 23-25 August 2023 at the Avani Gaborone Resort & Casino in Gaborone Botswana. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nONE HEALTH – WITHOUT BORDERS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSASVEPM believes in healthy animals\, healthy humans and a healthy planet. The One Health perspective considers animals\, people and environment and ensures that people and communities are involved in the decisions that affect their health and environment. Focussing on animals is just part of caring for the delicate balance of health that includes soil\, air\, water\, topography\, population density\, markets\, culture\, and tradition. \nA key to the approach is collaboration – across disciplines\, professions\, borders and groups – that builds holistic solutions with a lens of inter-connectedness.
