Let’s call a spade a spade, it’s a strange time for the veterinary profession. Post- pandemic puppies are now complicated medical cases, the CMA is on everyone’s minds and clients have limited funds.
It matters more than ever to be in the right practice right now. I might be one of the two founders but working at Pet People is the best job I’ve ever had and I know (because we ask!) that out team members feel the same.

Since starting at Pet People Annabelle has been supported in her development by closely working with the RCVS VetGDP scheme that aims to give new graduates that confidence and leg-up they might need when starting out in their first post-graduate role.
We are also proud to be working with the RCVS as part of their Veterinary Graduate Development Programme (VetGDP).
The programme aims to support new grads in practice by building their confidence with simple, straightforward tasks, and gradually moving through to more complex tasks as their knowledge and experience grows.

Day in the life of a Pet People RVN…
Tabitha is an RVN and our Pet People Marketing Manager. She has dedicated time to work on her marketing for the practice and is encouraged to attend webinars and courses to further her skillset in this area. She works a 4-day week with 10 hour days to allow a full day off where she always remains busy because that’s the kind of person she is. She loves her clinical work and wears her individualised unicorn scrub hat proudly around the clinic from lap-spay to ultrasound to TPLO. She loves the clinic social events such as yoga and art class but with her compressed hours rota and 1 in 6 weekends, she does have the headspace to step away from the demands of the profession. She’s got access to gym membership, mindfulness app membership, cycle-to-work scheme and many other perks and she’s been part of the design group for the new staffroom which will have a wellness focus that we hope differs from the standard dog-haired sofa and TV combo.
Tabitha is a Pet People Person.
