Vets tell BBC they are under ‘consistent pressure’ to make money

Some vets are being put under “consistent pressure” to generate income, the BBC has been told.
“Your worth is only how much income you bring,” says “Adam” – a vet at a practice owned by IVC Evidensia (IVC), one of the big six pet-care providers in the UK.
He says the amount of money he brings in is one of his key performance indicators.
The BBC spoke to seven vets working for IVC, which owns more than 900 surgeries, who all say they are monitored and set targets by the company.
The vets, who wanted to remain anonymous, had responded to a recent survey by the British Veterinary Union (BVU) – the findings of which have been shared exclusively with File on 4 Investigates.
