Clinical boards

IVC Evidensia clinical boards at group and country level representing our clinical teams.

As a clinically led business, IVC Evidensia has clinical boards at group and country level to represent our clinical teams, providing guidance to the country leadership team as well as clinical colleagues across our practices.​

Introducing our Irish clinical board

At IVC Evidensia, clinical leadership is central to our operations. That's why we establish clinical boards, ensuring representation for clinical teams and offering guidance to our country leadership team and colleagues across all practices.

Our clinical boards, both at the country and international levels, play a vital role in upholding clinical excellence throughout our network.

Support and collaboration:

  • Our vet board is a group of experienced veterinary professionals dedicated to advancing clinical excellence. Through collaboration and expertise, they provide invaluable guidance to our country leadership team and clinical colleagues across all practices.
  • Our veterinary advisors and operations staff provide essential support to local teams, linking all aspects of veterinary practice. Through group forums, we foster a community where like-minded colleagues can share and discuss best practices.

Driving change: 

  • As IVC Evidensia continues to grow, we're making waves in the veterinary sector. The clinical board influences top-level decisions, ensuring that the voices and experiences of front-line clinical staff are heard and incorporated into company policies.
  • Finbarr Heslin is the inaugural Chair of our Irish Clinical Board. Finbarr is a highly respected clinician and staunch advocate for animal welfare and legislative change. With extensive experience in general practice and consulting for charity and government initiatives, Finbarr brings invaluable insights to our clinical leadership.
