John’s Challenge at Liverpool Vet School

John Innes Interview Part 1 from David Nicol on Vimeo.

John Innes spent four months in Sydney working on a research project funded by the Welcome Trust. It was during this time that Dave got the chance to meet up with John and pick his brains about his experiences in veterinary management.

In part one of the interview Dave asks John to talk about the challenges he faced early in his management career in turning what was a struggling organisation into one of the UK’s premier venues to study veterinary science. We cover topics like managing performance, vet recruitment, support staff and the importance of networking.l

Workhorse Recruitment Launched

Thursday, May 20th, 2010

I often get asked where I get the time to write a blog, be a vet and do all the other things I get up to. The truth/secret is that I write like others might watch TV. In fact, if the average person watched just 2 hours of TV each night then in a year they’d spend an entire month watching the idiot box!

Imagine a month extra a year to do something more productive. That’s where I get my time.

So onto the exciting news. Last week from The Royal Festival Hall in London I (with the help of my co-owner Mr Graeme Viljoen) launched a new website and business. It’s called Workhorse Recruitment Ltd and in the coming months we will be redefining the way that vets are recruited into small animal practices in the UK.

For now though we’re searching for expert vets, specialists and those with experience writing MCQs to join our growing team of content partners on this ambitious project.

I’ve prepared the following presentation for those interested to give a little more detail. So if you are interested in earning some money in return for your knowledge then please do get in touch.

Next week I’ll be back with a more regular article.

Thanks in advance,

Dave.
