Strong Network

We not only provide our members with organisational and financial support; we also provide them with advice on the implementation of current legislation. Our clinics and practices remain operationally autonomous and can concentrate on what is really important – treating and caring for their patients.

What Can Altano Do for You?

Managing a clinic or practice is a complex and time-consuming challenge. In cooperation with your clinic management, we can make it easier for you to deal with bureaucratic and organisational tasks:

  • Personnel, staff scheduling, recruiting
  • Clinic manager
  • Procurement
  • IT and practice software (easyVET etc.)
  • Intranet (AltanoNet)
  • Marketing and communication

It is essential to regularly monitor and carefully implement changing laws and regulations. Failure to do so can have serious consequences. We keep you up to date regarding legal issues and provide professional support when it comes to the implementation of laws and regulations:

  • Pharmacy law
  • Data protection
  • Labour law and legal disputes
  • Quality management

Does managing the red tape at your clinic keep you from focusing on what you do best? We help you free up time for veterinary work and provide you with a uniform structure and support in the following areas:

  • Budgeting and planning of investments
  • Financial management and controlling
  • Tax advisory
  • Insurance

The exchange of experience and knowledge is our greatest strength. At the Altano Group, we promote the regular training and further education of all staff members. A variety of different formats provide space to share questions, present innovative techniques and discuss the latest medical findings. Here are some of the programmes we have implemented:

  • Medical Board
  • Manager Days
  • Pharmacist Day
  • Altano Academy
  • Altano Future Days
  • Altano Next Level
  • Altano Club
  • Altano Connect
