What is the Veterinary Management Group?

The Veterinary Management Group is the professional association for all those working in business, management and leadership roles in the veterinary sector.
We are an Affiliate Group of the British Veterinary Association.  We were previously known as the Veterinary Practice Management Association, and rebranded in 2018 to recognise the diversity of leadership and management roles in the veterinary sector.
