The ECB engage with clinical teams in the wider group to lead quality improvement activities, support in-practice research and promote evidence-based veterinary medicine. They champion collective clinical leadership and support our teams in lifelong professional development.

The ECB and CIGs are supported by the Clinical Board Support Team (CBST), who have both clinical and extensive research experience and are well published and known for the work they undertake. The team are dedicated to collaborating with our communities to facilitate the development of new skills, including the assessment and communication of evidence.
Together we want to optimise clinical outcomes for our patients, our clients and our people. We are passionate about evidence-based practice and want to improve our knowledge base for clinical decision-making.
We work with honesty and integrity, welcoming external partnerships with like-minded people, to contribute to the evidence base for the benefit of the whole profession. To find out more or get in touch, please contact the ECB at clinical.board@vetpartners.co.uk​​​
