A Message<br />

from Sam<br />

For some of you it might feel like I have<br />

dropped off the face of the earth. And<br />

at times it has felt like that way for me<br />

too............. And I feel like I owe you an<br />

explanation to make sure everyone is clear.<br />

Just over 18 months ago, <strong>UVG</strong> went into<br />

partnership with National Veterinary Care<br />

(NVC) to make sure the business continued to<br />

go from strength to strength and it has done<br />

just that. We have never had more active<br />

members, enjoying a huge 183% increase in<br />

rebate payments last financial year, with more<br />

valuable industry partnerships and deals than<br />

ever before.<br />

We also have more clinics than ever<br />

participating in one of our leadership and<br />

training programs, be it either the Accelerated<br />

Mastermind Program or the Complete Vet<br />

System. In addition to this, many initiatives<br />

have been developed and implemented to<br />

ensure members have increased support<br />

and opportunities to communicate with <strong>UVG</strong><br />

support staff and each other.<br />

For the first time in nearly ten years, I had an<br />

extended break over the Christmas period<br />

to enjoy some quality time with my<br />

family and friends and now I’m back on<br />

deck and busily preparing for this year’s<br />

Veterinary Business Bootcamp. It’s looking<br />

to be the best event yet – you would be<br />

crazy to miss it! This year my focus is going<br />

to shift from the day to day operations to<br />

contributing to the strategic direction of the<br />

<strong>UVG</strong> business and to the development and<br />

delivery of the Accelerated Mastermind<br />

Program to help even more clinics have<br />

amazing teams, profits and lifestyles. I’ve<br />

recently handed over the day to day<br />

operations of the <strong>UVG</strong> business to<br />

Paula Sadler. Paula has been working in the<br />

veterinary industry for several years<br />

after a lengthy career working with many<br />

memberships focussed organisations.<br />

Paula will lead the operational team to make<br />

sure the United Vets Group continues to be<br />

the veterinary community that together,<br />

achieves more.<br />

I’m excited to see as many of you as<br />

possible at this year’s Bootcamp and if<br />

you think you would like to participate in a<br />

leadership or training program that is going<br />

to take your clinic to a whole new level, drop<br />

me a line at sam@unitedvetsgroup.com.au.<br />

I sincerely hope you had a wonderful and<br />

relaxing Christmas and New Year and during<br />

January you were able to re-set for the year<br />

ahead.<br />

Yours Sam
