How do you deal with a situation involving another member of staff, vets or members of the senior management team? Is your concern is to do with serious inappropriate action or behaviour towards either yourself or animals within the care of the practice? Also what if it goes against your professional judgement? For example, what if you become aware that your Practice principal charges clients for medicines or treatment that have not been provided? They may dispose of medications in an inappropriate fashion or health and safety may be at risk due to a failure to follow manufacturers guidelines on use of equipment?
