Veterinary Fitouts

When Moving is not an Option

We understand that moving isn’t always an option. Sometimes you may have to be a certain distance from other specialists working in your field maybe you just can’t find the right tenancy in a better location or it just comes down to cost.

 

So if this is the case don’t give up on your dream to have a new clinic. The team at Clinics by Design can still help you turn your existing clinic into the new space you, your staff and patients will love.

 

We are experts in working with existing spaces and troubleshooting tricky areas that have the potential for a new and better use.

Therapy Through our Furry Friends

Through working closely with Veterinarians in order to give them the perfect fit out we have noticed just how important animals can be in creating a calming (even fun!) atmosphere within a clinic environment and why the ‘parents’ of these fur babies love them so much.

 

Most of us would have heard of animal therapy in which animals, mainly dogs or cats, are used across many areas such as aged care and hospital visits and Physical rehabilitation.

 

There is even the heart warming story of Beau the Cavoodle who resides at DentalCareXtra in Queensland and keeps nervous patients company while they wait.

 

Dogs have been used within psychoanalysis sessions as they have been seen to assist with patients opening up more and they can create companionship for those struggling with illnesses such as autism, dementia and stroke.

 

Comfort/ therapy dogs have such a positive impact within a clinical environment it would not be a surprise to see numbers rise and in turn make all sitting in the dental or medical waiting room that little more at ease.

Keeping Your Best Friend Happy

We talk a lot about keeping patients happy but generally we are speaking about the 2 legged kind. As we also do a lot of work with veterinarians it is important for us to know what keeps animals happy in a medical environment also.

 

The best way to achieve this is through good design. Good veterinary practice design  will create an efficient and practical environment for staff and pet owners and therefore creating a calm and happy environment.

 

We all know how much animals feed off our moods so a relaxed environment equals relaxed pets.

Think about layout, do you want to have separate areas for dogs and cats?

Furniture, what upholsteries are the best for easy cleaning and hygiene?

 

Flooring, which flooring is best for spills!

 

Treatment space, the way the clinic is set out will determine how efficient your staff are which is extremely important, especially during times in which pets are separated from their owners….their humans……their mum and dad.

 

By putting the time and thought into an intelligent floor pan streamlining day to day procedures will become easy for everyone involved therefore resulting in a happy and efficient clinic.
