Scope of the study

• The study will involve a set of three dimensions
  of analysis that, globally, reflect the main
  areas that configurate the field of the
  professional characteristics and the conditions
  of work
• 1. - Type of services provided by vets
• 2. - Type of services searched by vets
• 3. - Potential evolution on the type of services
  offered to vets.
• Each of these analysis will originate a study.
  Being independent, they will however be
  articulated in order to be later evaluated as a
  whole.
