Facilities: They are a veterinary nursing training practice and have their RCVS practice standards accreditation. Their spacious surgery is purpose-built to industry-leading standards and has state-of-the-art equipment including digital x-ray, dental x-ray, and high-spec ultrasound.

Role: The nursing team is encouraged to work closely with the vets but also alongside each other and the rest of the team, to utilise their skills to the full potential within the RVN qualification to achieve maximum job satisfaction. Their JVP is keen to offer support to all of the team and encourage any specific areas of interest.
