VETPlus Reporoa gains BESTPRACTICE® accreditation!

BESTPRACTICE® is a voluntary auditing system established by the New Zealand Veterinary Association as a means for the veterinary profession to promote and maintain superior standards of professionalism and service.

We at VETPlus have enlisted this system; we wish to ensure we have the best of care, facilities and systems to meet animal health requirements.

Why Choose a BESTPRACTICE® clinic?

• A clinic must pass an intensive audit inspection before achieving accreditation. There is
• Veterinarians are professionally trained and experienced in veterinary medicine, surgery, animal health and welfare and farm advisory services, have access to up to date materials, and are allocated time to undertake continuing professional development to ensure we stay up to date.
• Staff are well-presented professionals available for 24-hour emergency service, and have systems in place to meet best on-farm practice and Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (MAF) animal welfare standards.
• The clinic has well-organised data storage systems that ensure your animals' health records can be easily accessed and updated.
• Any medication dispensed is clearly labelled and appropriately packaged, so you know exactly how and when to medicate your animals and the withholding periods that must be observed.
• Accredited clinics are inspected every two years by independent trained veterinary auditors and must continue to meet the standards set in order to remain accredited.

VETPlus Reporoa is the second VETPlus clinic to gain accreditation, our Taupo clinic has been BESTPRACTICE® accredited since 2002.
