Getting your new veterinary clinic opened and running can be both an exciting and stressful venture. You want to provide the best care possible for your furry patients, and a vital part of that service is having the right medical equipment to support exceptional care. It can be difficult to keep track of which equipment you need and how to set it up to maximize your space and its functionality. Here are ways to optimize your clinic with medical equipment that will support each facet of your practice:
- Procedures and Exams: Choose the right exam tables by considering the type of animals you will be treating, the number of exam rooms you have, and what kinds of procedures you will be offering. This will help determine specifications like height and size to ensure that you can perform exams efficiently. For ultrasounds, you will also want to think about the size of your patients and where you will use the equipment. A portable ultrasound can be a great option for having multi-purpose exam rooms.
- Storage: This might not be the first thing you think of when you are planning what medical equipment you will need. Storage makes a big difference when setting up your clinic to make sure you and your staff are organized and efficient. Measure out your exam rooms and general office spaces while considering how you want them to function to help determine what kind of stands and cabinets will be needed.
- Budget: Purchasing medical equipment that stays within your budget will go a long way in optimizing your new clinic to ensure that you do not start off at a deficit. One way to do so is by looking at refurbished medical equipment. This saves you money while still fitting with your objectives. Talk to suppliers about what kind of options they have available.
Opening your new veterinary clinic is an exciting venture and choosing the right medical equipment will set you up for success for many years to come.
