They have modern, purpose-built premises which have been recently upgraded to include 7 new consulting rooms, a nurse's occupational treatment room, and a separate pharmacy. In addition, they have the following facilities:

  • Digital radiography and ultrasound rooms
  • 2 dental suites with dental radiography
  • 3 surgical theatres
  • Laboratory

  • Chemotherapy suite
  • Separate cat, dog, and rabbit wards

There is also a weekend commitment, 1 in 4, Saturday & Sunday 08:00-18:00, they also consider every other Saturday as an alternative  They also believe in work/life balance and they firmly believe everyone should have a lunch break and everyone should expect to leave on time.
