High Performing Veterinary Teams: Mastering Team Dynamics
Learn team dynamics skills & develop strategies to build a high-performing veterinary team.


Overview:
Veterinary medicine is full of outstanding individuals, but cultivating strong team dynamics is often a challenge. This course will help you to develop a star veterinary team, rather than a team of stars.

You will leave with clear strategies to build and maintain effective teams able to deal with uncertainty and change in the world of modern veterinary practice.

All members of veterinary teams, both clinical and non-clinical. There is great benefit for everyone developing as a high performing team together.

Wow, what a conversation starter!
The VetLed Civility training was very impactful really focusing in on how our behaviour towards each other affects patient care. VetLed presented theory and hard-hitting stories but also left our team with a system of tackling incivility practice-wide. This course fitted the bill, Thank You!

“The whole team found the Introduction to the Civility Programme extremely useful to ensure we all had the same understanding of the importance of civility in practice. We are looking forward to the next steps in the programme so that we have more tools and training for compassionate communication as a team.”

"The VetLed Leadership Programme has been an invaluable resource for our leadership team, helping us explore our individual strengths and challenges while aligning our leaders towards a common goal. From the first session, we noticed a difference in confidence with leadership decisions, using tools that prioritize people and foster a healthy and sustainable practice culture.
Their supportive and engaging course leaders provide real-life insight into veterinary practice and create an environment where the team feels encouraged to speak up in group sessions.
I would highly recommend VetLed for any team that understands the importance of their people and the team culture in creating success.”

FAQs
Teamwork skills are not a simple set of rules or like a recipe that can simply be followed. We refer to the concept of “team dynamics” because it illustrates the complex nature of teams and interactions; a complexity that is familiar for anyone who has worked in veterinary practice!
Whilst most of our training can be tailored for online delivery, this is a highly interactive workshop that includes team exercises and is best suited being delivered in-person.
