Written by more than 75 experts, well structured, it provides clear and logical answers to most of the problems likely to occur in the business and usually, in around 5 minutes reading. Fast acting relief worth keeping handy on your office shelf. (Vets Today, 1 October 2013)
"As with the original (published in 2007), this 2nd edition is a very comprehensive text. Both editions provide valuable sections on establishing practice direction, marketing and leadership. Although much of the 1st edition is still highly applicable, the 2nd edition has superseded it, with many of the chapters improved and the addition of the new section on technology management...The style of the writing is concise and easy to understand. The information is well-ordered, comprehensive and current...As such, the 2nd edition of Blackwell's five-minute veterinary practice management consult is a recommended purchase for any person or stakeholder in veterinary business (staff, owners, leaders and operational managers), veterinary school and veterinary nursing institution libraries." (Australian Veterinary Journal 27/03/2017)
