Howard Brown as he took over from former president Helen Sanderson.
Howard Brown was inaugurated as the new VPMA president at the VPMA /SPVS Congress on Saturday morning (January 24).
In his inaugural speech he said that although not a practice manager or vet, he had been involved with the VPMA for over 15 years and that during his presidency he aimed to keep the organisation on track; continuing to understand and provide for member needs.
He said that he had a particular interest in supporting the regions where so much good networking and support was provided. Importantly he emphasised that he brings the experience of scale to the VPMA from his experience of working in larger organisations.
Two independent vets have launched a podcast to help owners strengthen their bond with pets. Dr Maggie Roberts and Dr Vanessa Howie, who have worked in both veterinary practice and major charities, are keen to use their experience to enable people to give pets a better life.
