Join a family run 24/7 hospital that offers flexibility in a workplace dedicated to clinical excellence, continuous progression, and providing a team culture where everyone can thrive.
Set up by our JVPs, Keith and Julie Leonard in 2012, we are a family run, RCVS Accredited Hospital and Emergency Service Clinic, providing OOH and referral support to 16 referring surgeries. This is run alongside a thriving first opinion business meaning we get the best of both worlds: the case variety you expect to find in a busy general practice and the continuity to work this caseload up and provide high quality, advanced, referral level care to our patients in-house.
We are always looking to progress and increase the services we can provide; a recent extension has tripled our working space, allowed us to grow our team, offer even more flexibility in working patterns, provide further progression opportunities, and expand our ability to provide in-house CPD and training. Even more recently we have started working with an external CT imaging provider, further improving case continuity for both our vets and clients.
