Beyond the Rota: Leadership, Efficiency & Change Management in Modern Vet Practice │Episode 50
About this episode
What if the real key to sustainability in veterinary practice isn’t working harder - but working smarter?
In this episode of the Modern Veterinary Practice Podcast, Jack Peploe is joined by veterinary surgeon and VetSource UK lead, David McDonald. From clinical practice to corporate leadership and tech innovation, David shares hard-earned lessons on operational efficiency, leadership maturity, and why change management may be the most underrated skill in veterinary business.
They explore the hidden inefficiencies in everyday practice life, why we measure the wrong data, how better systems can improve wellbeing (not just profit), and why so many teams struggle with change. If you're a practice owner, leader, or ambitious vet looking to future-proof your business without burning out your team - this episode is essential listening.
