Abstract: There are few professions that would equal veterinary science in the demands that are made on the individual practicioner. The same is true of the criticisms levelled against the practitioner - if he makes a point, he is “money-hungry”, if he fails to make ends meet, he is just another “failure”. To nobody is this more apparent than the humble practitioners themselves. Having survived the vicissitudes of practice (and enjoyed some of the benefits) for over two decades, one has be come painfully aware of certain aspects of successful practice management. Two of these concepts might be regarded as the cornerstones upon which sound management could be based, planning professional time, and credit control. It is these aspects of practice management that will be discussed in this paper.
