There are a number of reasons why you may wish to raise your professional profile online.
For example, it will help locum vet nurses raise your profile as you build your client base.
Likewise, it will make it easier for clients to find veterinary nurses who provide specific client services.
Practice owners and managers might also like to encourage staff to create professional profiles with a link to the practice website, which will help push it up the search engine results.
Finally, any supplier of products or services to the profession can complete a profile about their business.
Activating your new professional profile is simple.
First, login and visit www.vetnurse.co.uk/user/settings and enter your practice or business website, to appear on your profile (NB. You MUST include the http:// or https:// part of the address).
Then visit and complete your profile page from the ‘View/Edit my profile' link in the main site navigation.
Then press the link at the top right which says ‘Make Profile Public’ (it’s reversible at any time, if you change your mind).
A LIMITED amount of information from your profile will then be made visible to search engines and publicly on the site (ie without logging in).
You will need to allow a few days before your entry starts to appear in search engines like Google.
Importantly, your telephone number and address are NOT revealed, and nor is your extended career history (only the most recent career entry is displayed). Your interests, collaborations, and association memberships are also not shared.
To see an example of a public professional profile, visit vetnurse.co.uk, make sure you are logged out, and then see: www.vetnurse.co.uk/members/editor
Log back into the site, visit that same link, and you'll see that further career details, interests, membership etc are visible to members only.
