Thank youVetswest would like to thank Pfizer and Vet consultancy for their support with the Business Management academy
which will equip practice owners/managers with the tools to deal with the market challenges of today.
this is a major piece of personal management development and members can enjoy a 25% saving on the
standard cost.
Terms anD ConDiTionsour aim is to make cPD for members of your staff as local and cost
effective as possible.
to this end our terms and conditions are as brief as possible.
if you reserve a cPD place you have the right to withdraw your
reservation without charge, at any time within seven days of
registration, unless the date of the course is within 1 month of the date
of reservation.
it is our aim to provide the day’s course in accordance with any dates
agreed with you, but in certain circumstances outside our control
it may not be possible to run the course, in which case you will be
offered a revised date or a full refund.
Payment
Payment for all courses is now due with your reservation and will be
added to the practice drug bill at the end of the month when you make
your reservation.
Communication by mail policy
We routinely communicate via e-mail unless we have been specifically
requested not to do so or it is clearly inappropriate. Please ensure that
you regularly examine your email system to ensure you are aware of
any recent notifications which you have been sent.
registering for a course
When you register for a course, the practice must have agreed to
pay for the course in full, as described on the registration form. if for
any reason (such as inadequate numbers of registrants) a course
is not run, then any registration fee will be refunded in full, however
other expenses incurred by delegates such as any pre-booked travel
expenses are excluded.
all cancellations by delegates must be made in writing. a cancellation
more than 28 days prior to the date of the course will receive a full
refund. refunds will not normally be made for cancellations within 28
days of the course. However delegates may substitute another person
in place of themselves for a course or module, but need to notify the
Vetswest office in advance of the name of the person attending.
