What does it look like when a clinic's first rule is "the intent is good" and they actually mean it?

Dr Jocelyn Birch Baker reveals the five values and team culture that make High Street Vet Surgery work - from morning gratitude sessions to their "no blame policy" and why communication is everything.

Dr Jocelyn talks about:

• The five values built by the entire team: team, professional, empathy, integrity, relationships
• "No blame policy" - when things go wrong, focus on why and how to prevent it
• Why she offers week-long working trials (not just day visits) to potential team members
• What she's really looking for: someone dedicated, kind, with a sense of humor who wants to get better

Plus: Dr Jocelyn's speaking at Vet Expo Melbourne (Sept 3-4) about women in practice ownership and judging the innovation pitch competition.

High Street Vet Surgery is currently seeking a companion animal veterinarian to join their team. If you are considering your next career move, you owe it to yourself to listen to this High Street Vet Surgery special series.
