Vets4Pets has appointed Gudrun Ravetz as head of workplace engagement.

In the new role she will work support the implementation of the British Veterinary Association’s Good Veterinary Workplaces Code across the business.
 
With more than 20 years’ experience, in the veterinary sector Gudrun has worked as a clinician in private practice and for charity, and is a former president of both the British Veterinary Association and the Society of Practising Veterinary Surgeons as well as chair for the British Veterinary Association’s Good Veterinary Workplace Working Group.

Gudrun said: “Having been heavily involved in the work leading up to the Good Veterinary Workplaces Code during my time at the British Veterinary Association, I can fully relate to the many pressures that veterinary workplaces are currently under. 

“Through supportive action and using evidence-based tools, I believe we can make a positive and lasting difference.
 
“It’s an honour to join Vets4Pets as we begin to implement its many commitments to improving the industry.

"I am excited to work towards a positive future for veterinary workplaces and being able to work with Vets4Pets to build a well-resourced and accessible tool for practices to implement good veterinary workplaces will help our practices to attract and retain the best clinical talent.”
