We are equipped with an in-house lab, endoscopy for lap spays, and a surgical laser for advanced patient care.
We look after our staff and genuinely care; staff wellbeing is our thing. We had a personal trainer last year for the whole team which was great fun! We are always looking for novel ways to support our staff wellbeing and create a relaxed atmosphere, so ideas are always welcomed.
The team consists of 3 vets, 5 qualified RVNs, 2 Veterinary Care Assistants and Practice Manager/Practice Owner.
Our location is great; we are 20 minutes away from Nottingham and Derby city centre and close enough to enjoy the outdoors of the peak district. Attenborough nature reserve is on our doorstep and there is also lots of retail therapy. Rail and Air travel is also close by.
