SPVS CMA Roadshow

Over 160 delegates attended the Roadshows across the UK from the 11th – 21st May.

The purpose was to equip veterinary practice owners and leaders with an understanding of the CMA’s veterinary market remedies, their business and competitive implications, and practical steps practices can take now and once changes are implemented.

With thanks to our fantastic sponsor:

We’re pleased to announce that we are hosting 2 further events later in the year to enable us to continue these valuable CMA discussions
