A couple of our crew have joined since covid and so this is the first time they’ve all been able to meet in person.
At Vepalabs, we supply and support a wide range of veterinary diagnostic products for point-of-care testing. Vepa is now ten years old and in that time has grown to a team of ten. So, each year we find another amazing person and convince them to join us.
Amongst those smiling faces are…..
Can you guess who is who?
The photo above was taken recently when we all gathered together in Brisbane (at a huge cost that I now have to explain to my boss!) at the first of the Vepa-hosted 2023 Blood Gas Workshops.
The first event in Brisbane saw the highly respected Dr Andrew Rosenfeld deliver a great workshop on why you should be running blood gas testing on EVERY vomiting and diarrhoea case that presents to your practice. The Vepa Blood Gas Workshops were then delivered in both Sydney and Melbourne
Already we’ve received extremely positive feedback from Vets, including “The best piece of continuing education I’ve been to”.
At this point, you might be wondering if I’m trying to sell you tickets to our Blood Gas Workshops! Well, no, as the Sydney and Melbourne workshops are full.
So…. am I trying to sell you our best-in-class blood gas analyser, the EPOC?
NO. Because you can have it for free.
“Really?” I hear you think, “We can have a brand new, gold-plated blood gas analyser in our practice, that will offer us a cost-effective way of diagnosing ill patients, saving us and the pet owner hundreds or even thousands of dollars, for free?”
YES – you can have it for FREE.
“Wait a minute” you’re thinking, “We probably have to sign a years-long contract to buy consumables, like other diagnostic providers force on clinics.”
NO, YOU DON’T.
“Ok so no contract, but I bet the tests cost heaps!”
NO, they don’t. Vepa has managed to bring EPOC blood gas testing to Australian vets at a lower cost than any other country, including Canada, where the EPOC is from.
“Ok, I give up… How does Vepa manage to do this stuff?”
We can undercut our competition because we don’t pay our staff. We drug them instead. See photo. (Nahhhh…Only joking!)
But you should call Vepa and find out exactly how we can offer such fabulous deals.
And if you didn’t make it to the Blood Gas Workshops, that’s ok, although you did miss out on rubbing shoulders with this very handsome crew. But we’ll make it up to you with a diagnostic offer for your practice that will have you smiling, just like us.
