Medivet has announced that it is reducing the pace of its new practice acquisitions to allow its Regional Directors Team time to integrate.

Medivet owns 245 veterinary practices in the UK and its rate of practice acquisition had tripled in the last 12 months.

CEO, Arnold Levy said: "The 25 strong Regional Directors Team is a key strategic line of management and support for all our existing practices, and they are central to the successful integration of our new practices into our hub and spoke model. Even though each of our Regional Directors is an experienced, qualified veterinary surgeon, it is vital that they have time, knowledge and understanding of the Medivet business and operation to confidently support their practices in line with our model, in the right way.

"With the support of the Leadership Team, we will be using these next few months to ensure this newly formed group have all the skills needed to do just that." 

Arnold added: "We have taken this deliberate decision to ensure we can maintain the very highest standards of client and patient care. Where our management team and support structures are already in place we will continue with our new acquisitions program, and once our Regional Management operation is fully embedded, we will confidently continue to grow our business in a sustainable, people and patient-first way."
