WHO IS THIS PROGRAMME FOR?
Calling all Practice Owners, Leaders (and aspiring Leaders!)
The Platinum Academy is for independent veterinary owner-managers looking to develop, improve, grow or scale their veterinary business. We work with vet businesses of all shape, size, and type. Those who benefit most, are often rich in motivation but lacking time; they’re too busy working IN their practice, to work ON it. Which is why we address time management, energy, and planning, at the very start of the Platinum journey. Setting you up for success.
Don’t just take our word for it. See what Platinum
member Robin Hodgkinson has to say…

Platinum for my leadership team
My practice leadership team are currently partaking in the Vet Dynamics Platinum Academy, and I can highly recommend it from a practice management/financial point of view, as well as the inspiration and insights that it provides, along with the connections it provides to other practice leaders who are experiencing the same up and downs that you are.
Great expectations – met
Thank you Vet Dynamics for everything you’ve done for me, my practice, my family and my life! I had great expectations for Platinum when we signed up, having watched Alan for a few years. But never in my wildest dreams could I imagine the transformations that you have set in motion. Heartfelt thanks for everything.
Thank you
Dear Alan, Vicky and team, thank you for making ‘the battle’ a whole lot easier and a lot more fun!
Life changing
Joining Vet Dynamics has been a truly life changing experience for us – personally, professionally, financially, and for our whole team. We have climbed mountains together, made wonderful friends and life coaches. Your coaching and support has given us the tools and courage to grow our practice and provide an environment to develop our team. Thank you. Onwards and upwards!
The results are proof that it’s worth it!
Albert was recommended to Vet Dynamics by a Veterinary Colleague, but for several years hesitated about ‘taking the plunge’. We finally dived in 2+ years ago with Platinum and have now moved onto the Mastermind Programme. Albert has gained all the knowledge and support to achieve his business objectives and is extremely grateful for his friend’s perseverance (on more than one occasion!) in recommending Vet Dynamics. It requires commitment and hard work to fully take advantage of what Vet Dynamics offer. But the results are the proof that it’s worth it. A great deal of fun is always had on the courses with likeminded vets in a supportive environment – everyone has a lot of laughs along the way together.
The Platinum and Mastermind programmes give a sense of camaraderie, in what can otherwise be a lonely journey for independent vets like Albert. On occasions, I have joined the course with Albert and have seen the dedication of the Vet Dynamics team as well as the sharing of ideas among all the vets on the course. We have no hesitation in recommending Vet Dynamics and their business and personal
development programmes to other independent vets.
I just wanted to say a massive thank you.
I won’t go into details as its far too long to type but I dealt with a situation here last week concerning members of the team which had turned into a major problem. Everyone was unhappy including me. We managed to workshop the problem however and turn things around completely. I honestly do not believe I would have been able to do this as well as I did, or achieved the outcome that we achieved as a team, without the bigger picture. If I hadn’t been coming to Platinum Academy, I never would have had the confidence to resolve things so easily. Thanks for being heroes!
Platinum has changed both of us
We are both re-invigorated and excited by the prospects of managing our practice well. We now have the tools and (some of!) the skills to face the challenges ahead and will continue to develop those skills. Personally, I am deeply grateful for the opportunities that you have opened up for us and the immense support that all at Vet Dynamics both in the office and the Mastermind Group 3 settings – have given us. I’m sure that Jonathan feels much the same. With our very best wishes,
Equipping you with the right tools and knowledge
Industry thought leaders and influencers at your service
Our Platinum Coaches are highly regarded in the veterinary industry. As trusted advisors to practices and veterinary suppliers, we have a wealth of knowledge, decades of experience and a suite of resources at your disposal. Furthermore, as speakers in both veterinary schools and some of the industry’s top veterinary events, you can be sure you’re getting comprehensive advice, mentorship and guidance.
Address small changes with clarity and confidence
Quarterly performance reviews combine the power of Index with personal practice development coaching to ensure you and your practice stay on track to achieve your vision. Members typically start seeing the gains rather than the gaps at around 4-6 months and by your 12-month assessment, you’ll be amazed at the transformation!
Liberated to live on your terms
Steering your practice in the right direction can come at a cost to your personal time. The ‘Platinum Way’ enables you to escape from the tyranny of the ‘ busy-trap’ and reclaim the time you need to manage the clinical management-personal cycle of leadership.
Visit our Speaking Events page to learn more about our Coaches.
All the tools you need to inspire great veterinary leadership
Our Platinum curriculum was developed specifically because Vet School doesn’t prepare you for the commercial world of veterinary business. Work through our programme of modules and build strong foundations for leadership, develop confident management skills and establish disciplines, principles, and healthy workplace habits that will support both your veterinary business and your personal life.
Staying at the forefront of the veterinary profession
As a Platinum member, your attendance and all accommodation for both our annual Conference and annual Community Retreat, are included. These events provide a further 4 days veterinary business CPD, where we address current and relevant topics and challenges in the profession, connect and celebrate success!
Independents only
Being an independent practice owner / leader can be an isolating experience. Implement lessons and share your successes (and challenges!) with a group of like minded non-competing veterinary professionals, and be part of a community that care and understand.
Organic – 100% Independent
Our community is 100% independent. It consists of more than 200 members at any one time. And they share common values; they care limitlessly about the welfare of their patients, the happiness of their teams, and the security and success of their asset.
Original – You-nique experience!
Every member, practice, team, dream, circumstance, past and present, is unique. Practices of all sizes, shapes and structure join us. From single vet to multi branch, from first opinion to referrals, from starting up to planning an exit, every one at a different stage of their unique journey.
Supportive – We’ve got your back
These journeys and experiences provide a rich reservoir of shared knowledge and lessons. Members benefit by learning from others trials and errors, wins and break throughs. Life and leadership become rewarding, enjoyable, and easier.
Performance evaluation
Stronger clinical and financial outcomes
We show you how little changes in your business approach can produce significant increases in profitability, enhance your clinical performance and strengthen your finances.
Keeping your finger on the pulse of the practice
Combined with Coaching, your quarterly financial and clinical reviews become a consistent check point. With our expert guidance, you’ll learn how to find the most relevant insights and draw the most meaningful conclusions from your personal dashboard. Furthermore, as a Platinum member, you’ll have access to the full Index capabilities, including the Pricing Calculator and Profit and Loss analysis.

Through nurturing these relationships with industry providers, we are able to secure special and introductory offers, discounts, and priority bookings for our members.
