Steven Goodear

Steven has been a clinical vet for 25 years and has been a practice owner for 17 of those years, first setting up a small animal clinic in Sheffield, and more recently owning, working and managing a small animal practice in rural Lincolnshire. Two years ago he set up an independent emergency practice in deepest, darkest Lincolnshire which now covers 10 vet practices, providing 24 hour care for East Lincolnshire patients and a more sane work-life balance for vets and nurses in the area. The independent emergency practice is pioneering one of the first monthly emergency only membership subscription service for patients. His main areas of interest are in developing and growing the clinical and non-clinical teams in his practices, and stimulating them to understand why we all behave differently and what our different motivators are in independent practices, in order that we can all have long lasting and fulfilling careers in this amazing profession
