Engaging with Members of Scottish Parliament (MSPs) through inviting them to practice is one way to highlight the important role that vets play in Scottish society. We've created a handy template for you to use, and encourage Scottish members to tailor this to your own circumstances when extending an invitation to your local MSP to visit your practice. This offers them a unique opportunity to see first-hand the work you do, how you and your teams operate to better understand the challenges and opportunities within the veterinary sector. If you would like further support engaging with your local MSP, please contact us.
