BESTPRACTICE®

By choosing to use The Vet Centre, (Richmond Clinic) you’re assured of receiving the best possible standard of service and the best possible care for your pets.

The New Zealand Veterinary Association Practice Standards were established as a means for the veterinary profession to promote and maintain superior standards of professionalism and service.

As noted on the NZVA BESTPRACTICE® website, “The standards encourage the ongoing critical evaluation of the practice’s surgical, medical, diagnostic and nursing protocols in order to maintain a high level of excellence. There is a strong emphasis on compliance with current New Zealand legislation as it affects veterinary practices and NZVA policy.”

Of around 400 veterinary practices within New Zealand, there only 65 who have current accreditation. The Vet Centre, Richmond is the only practice accredited in the Tasman region.

Participating practices are required to meet every component that make up the BESTPRACTICE® standards. Once achieved, accreditation is maintained through an independent audit every two years. Areas that are covered include:

  • 24 hour service
  • Personnel
  • Communication
  • Premises
  • Equipment and facilities
  • Storage, prescription and dispensing of medicines
  • Diagnostic services
  • Safety

Our dedicated veterinarians

We are a team of dedicated veterinarians and nurses providing a broad medical and surgical service to all companion animals and production animals. Based in a purpose built facility, equipped with modern equipment to provide a broad range of diagnostic, medical, advisory and surgical services.

In todays advanced veterinary environment, veterinary nurses provide a critical role in the delivery of quality veterinary care. Without their expertise, professionalism and care, veterinary clinics would not be able to provide the medical and surgical care expected by todays public.
