What is BESTPRACTICE?
BESTPRACTICE is a quality assurance programme modelled on best practice overseas standards and adapted to suit the New Zealand veterinary environment.
It comprises two levels:
- BESTPRACTICE Clinic Standards - these stipulate the standards of service, facilities, equipment and management considered essential in veterinary practices in New Zealand. Clinic standards are set at a level that should be achievable by most veterinary practices.
- BESTPRACTICE Hospital Standards - these are more demanding and represent an advanced level of veterinary treatment and care.
The benefits
BESTPRACTICE accredited veterinary clinics offer pet owners the best possible standard of veterinary care at all times.
Pet owners will soon be able to search for their nearest BESTPRACTICE accredited clinic or hospital using our new Find a Vet service (coming soon).
