Federation of Independent Veterinary Practices Stand: C25

Federation of Independent Veterinary Practices

Founded in 2016, FIVP is dedicated to representing interests and promoting the values of independent veterinary practices. With the continuing expansion of corporate companies, the organisation aims to provide independent practices with a strong future and create a community where practices can network and develop together.

Members benefit from the group’s four key principles: promoting the values and benefits of independent practices to the market and clients, representing the voice of independent practices in wider debates, helping with recruiting the best possible professionals to their practice and supporting members in securing preferential rates and services with suppliers and associations.

These four principles have taken FIVP around the UK, as it works to share what makes independent practice so important to the veterinary sector. Our stand has travelled to all the major veterinary careers fairs, as well as congresses including London Vet Show and BSAVA Congress, where we share the latest stories from our member practices as well as opportunities to join their teams.

In the past year, FIVP’s commitment to independent practices has been more important than ever.

Since the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) launched an investigation into the veterinary sector in March 2024, FIVP has ensured that independent practices are represented in the discussion. Our members have remained fully involved in the process – providing feedback on our responses, sharing data to help inform the decisions and discussing what they want from the CMA’s investigation.

Rita Dingwall, FIVP business development manager, said: “In what could be a year of change for the veterinary sector, we believe that it is vital that independent practices get the help and guidance that they need.

“If you own or work for an independent practice, we’d love to catch up with you at BSAVA Congress and Expo 2025 to discuss how we can support you.”
