Eastcott Veterinary Clinic and Hospital were first recognised as an Investor in People in 2006. At their recent re-assessment they were not only recognised, but have also gone that extra mile to achieve Bronze level. Through support for national and local charities and sponsorship of local events, the Practice is pro-active in engaging with its wider social responsibilities. Eastcott Veterinary Clinic and Hospital were assessed by Recognising Excellence Ltd, the Investors in People Centre for the South West. Commenting on the award, Jan Sangster, Practice Manager said “we are extremely proud of this achievement, especially as we are the first veterinary business in the South West to achieve Bronze, as it recognises our commitment to providing the highest possible service to clients in the way we manage our business and invest in our staff. By actively encouraging and supporting our Vets, Nurses, Client Care and Administrative staff to continue their professional training and development we are able to ensure that all our clients benefit from ever improving techniques and procedures in all areas of the Practice. However, we certainly won't be resting on our laurels (so to speak) and intend to work hard towards maintaining our Investors in People Bronze Award recognition and aiming for the next level of the award by working closely with both staff and clients."
