Historically, telemedicine has been widely disregarded in the veterinary community, with many citing important aspects of practice that require a ‘hands-on’ approach. While a face-to-face visit to a veterinary practice is irreplaceable, telemedicine is gaining popularity. It proved to be a useful complementary tool during the COVID-19 pandemic and has continued to be used since then, with the CMA investigation highlighting it as a valuable way to access veterinary expertise.

Breaking free from the outdated perceptions, this learning series with Ben Sweeney takes an informative look at the legal, professional and profitable aspects of remote veterinary care. You will discover how to successfully integrate remote medicine into small animal practice, gaining insights and tips in mastering tele-triage to enhance clinic offerings and maximise opportunities for all.

The series aims to build confidence in identifying common opportunities for remote engagement whilst working within ethical and legal boundaries, and looks to highlight areas that telemedicine can not only benefit the veterinary team, but also pet owners and their pets.
