Locum Handover Notes.
An app idea for veterinary clinics.
Structured handover notes for locum and relief vets covering open cases, callbacks and pending labs.
What the search found
- Who pays
- Locum vets and the clinics that hire them
- The problem
- A locum finishes a shift and the next vet has to piece together what is still open from scattered notes. Pending labs and owner callbacks get dropped between shifts.
- The gap
- Co.Vet is an AI scribe and copilot for relief vets, so it writes notes for the locum. The results show nothing that is a shared handover record the next vet and the clinic both read, and the CVS app is only shift booking.
- Already out there
- Co.Vet co.vet

- The big assumption
- Locums will adopt a new handover tool when they work across many clinics with different systems and no authority to change process.
- Test it this week
- Interview five locums and five practice managers about the last bad handover and who, if anyone, would pay for a fix.
