So, how does our Lone Worker Monitoring actually work?

It's really simple.

📞 Your vet calls us before heading out alone.

📍 We record where they're going and when they expect to be back.

⏰ They check back in when they're safe.

🚨 If we don't hear from them when expected, we follow your practice's agreed escalation procedure.

No new app to remember.

No complicated system.

Just a real person who knows they're out there and is waiting to hear that they're safe.

We've been supporting veterinary practices for over 30 years, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

If you'd like to know more about adding Lone Worker Monitoring to your practice, get in touch.

⭐ Testimonial Tuesday ⭐

When we answer a call, we’re representing someone else’s veterinary practice, and we never forget that.

We want every caller to receive the same care and attention we’d expect if they were speaking directly to the practice team.

Thank you to Clare at Avonvale Vets for this lovely feedback about our team. 💛

Picture this.

It's 10pm.

One of your vets has been called out to a horse.

They're driving somewhere rural, potentially somewhere they've never been before, and they're going alone.

Who knows exactly where they are?

More importantly, who is expecting to hear from them when they're finished?

That's what our Lone Worker Monitoring service is there for.

Your vet checks in with our team before the visit and checks back in when they're safe.

And if that second call doesn't come?

We know about it.

A little bit of backup can make a big difference when you're working alone. 💚

There’s nothing better than hearing from the veterinary teams who trust us to look after their clients when they can’t be there themselves.

A huge thank you to Sarah and the team at StreetVet for such lovely feedback. 💛

We’re incredibly proud to support the work they do and to be there for their clients out of hours, 365 days a year.

⏰ One month until the clocks change.

The darker evenings are coming, and for veterinary teams that can mean more time spent working alone in the dark.

A late-night call out.

A visit to a yard in the middle of nowhere.

Finishing up at the practice after everyone else has gone home.

But when your team are out there on their own, who's making sure they get home safely?

Our Lone Worker Monitoring service gives veterinary teams someone to check in with when they're working alone. If they don't check back in when expected, we follow your agreed protocol and take action.

A simple extra layer of reassurance for your team, especially as the nights start drawing in.

📣 Our 2026 client survey results are in!

And we’re pretty proud of what our veterinary clients told us. 💛

⭐ 4.81/5 average satisfaction
⭐ 4.90/5 average likelihood to recommend
⭐ 100% of respondents rated their satisfaction either 4 or 5 out of 5

But the numbers only tell part of the story.

We asked our clients what difference Kernow makes to their practice and teams, what they value most about the service and, importantly, what we could be doing better.

They told us about having peace of mind out of hours, better work/life balance, support for lone workers, help when daytime teams are under pressure and knowing there’s a backup when things don’t quite go to plan.

They also gave us some brilliant suggestions for how we can improve, and we’re already acting on them.

Because if you’re going to ask your clients what they think, you need to listen to the whole answer. 💛

We’ve pulled together what veterinary teams told us in our latest blog 👇

Every year, we ask our veterinary clients to tell us what they really think about working with Kernow Vets Messaging. What are we getting right? Where could we improve? And, perhaps most importantly, what difference does having an answering service actually make to the people using it? The results o...

💬 Not every client wants to pick up the phone.

Sometimes they have a quick question.
Sometimes they're at work.
Sometimes it's simply easier to send a message.

That's why more practices are adding live web chat to their client care toolkit.

✔️ Answer questions in real time
✔️ Improve the client experience
✔️ Capture enquiries you might otherwise miss
✔️ Give your reception team an extra helping hand

With Kernow Vets Messaging, your web chat is managed by our experienced veterinary team, so your clients always receive a friendly, professional response.

The evenings are starting to draw in again 🌙

For most of us, it just means putting the lights on a little earlier.

But for veterinary teams, darker evenings can mean travelling to call-outs alone, arriving at unfamiliar locations in the dark or locking up a practice when everyone else has already gone home.

That's exactly why we offer our Lone Worker Monitoring service.

Your team can check in with us when they're working alone, tell us where they're going and when they expect to be back.

Then someone is looking out for them.

Because sometimes it's not about answering the emergency call.

It's about making sure the person answering it gets home safely too. 💚
